Product Description

Drawing from the ancient art of Asian brush painting, Craig Vandall Stevens introduces a unique form of chip carving to the hobbyist. With clean flowing lines the knife creates delicate images in wood, relying on the play of the grain and light to bring the images to life. These make beautiful wall hangings on their own, or can be used as a decoration on plates boxes, and screens. Craig goes step-by-step through the carving, beginning with an introduction to the tools and the wood. Two projects are included with clear color photographs and concise descriptions of the carving technique. The pattterns are included as is a gallery of variations and applications.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for traditional chip carving, October 31, 2009
While the book is well done, it is primarily a brief introduction of a somewhat "experimental" adaptation of chip carving focusing on animal relief figure carving. From that perspective it is interesting, although almost the entire text focuses on one animal, a giraffe. There are a number of illustrations showing the basics and a few additional images of some other animals. It is definitely not based on Swiss chip carving style, a target audience to which the book is apparently targeted by advertisers. While the price wasn't exorbitant, I wouldn't have purchased the book had I known more clearly about the book's focus. For someone already knowledgeable with wood carving, the content of the book is likely to be of little useful assistance. I did read the entire book and then put it away. I'm not a traditional chip carving expert, but I've done enough wood carving through the years, read enough books and listened to experts enough to have an idea about useful innovations. This isn't the place to look.
