Synopsis

Chip carving offers so many choices—and this bounty of patterns was specifically chosen to provide carvers with experience in many styles, including lettering, signs, geometrics designs, positive-image, and free-form work. The projects feature more than 125 different ornamental plates, boxes, wall plaques, cabinets, chair backs, house numbers, lamp bases, lap desks, and other creations. New to this edition: a lettering chart for readers to trace and then carve. To make things even easier, you use only the two most readily available knife blades (W.B. Premier No. 1 and No. 2) and the most versatile, workable woods (basswood and butternut).

From the Back Cover

No woodworker should be without these classic chip carving patterns. Whatever style and design you want is here; and every pattern looks great in color. Monogramed letters within a foliage framework are elegant and sophisticated, while geometric motifs carved in a rosette are intricate and boldly graphic. Designs that drop out of wood and appear to be inlaid are perfect on the panels of kitchen cabinet doors. And free-form patterns incised into the wood, such as animals, birds, flowers, and foliage, lend a touch of nature.
