A beginner’s guide from the world’s most renowned chip carver! Wayne Barton—author of Chip Carving and Art of Chip Carving—presents what is unquestionably the finest guidance ever for the novice. He has been the driving force behind the craft’s resurgence, and his technical knowledge, design skills, and ability to instruct remain unequalled. One by one, with the aid of color photographs, he covers tools and materials, the best woods, holding and sharpening chip carving knives, and laying out and transferring patterns. Borders, grids, rosettes, free-form design, positive image design, and lettering all receive separate, in-depth chapters, as does Barton’s special, time-tested hints.

Be Careful,
By Carver "Carver" (Panama City Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Chip Carving (Paperback)
This is an excellent book and it is very complete. If, however, you have a number of Barton's previous books, there is not much new in this one, and that includes the designs shown. So, if you are an experienced chip carver and know Barton's work, I think that you would be disappointed with this book.

As a beginner, this is a great book to establish solid techniques and get an overview of what you accomplish. The patterns and pictures are very detailed. The instructions and explanations are clear and concise. This is a book that I will keep referencing for a long time.

great pattern ideas,
By Woody Carver "glk" (Iowa Falls, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Chip Carving (Paperback)
I carve wedding plates, jewelry boxes, and borders on relief carvings. This book provides many samples I can use for my work. It is a super book well worth being a part of any chip carver's arsenal.
I constantly go back to this book after owning it for several years...to get pattern ideas mostly. It has been well worth the purchase price.
