Book Overview
Dennis Moor introduces chip carving as a style of woodcarving in which knives remove selected chips of wood in single pieces. The guide explains the relationship between the wood surface and the points beneath it, along with the importance of grain, tools, cuts, and design.
The book covers basswood, butternut, mahogany, pine, and other woods. It also discusses standard and large-width borders, curved borders, crosses, rosettes, lettering, pattern transfer, layout, design, finishing, and safety.
The final section provides seven decorative projects: a napkin holder, plane box, letter holder, trinket box, tissue box holder, mailbox, and cheese and cracker tray.
