Chip Carving

This exciting new title from acclaimed chip carver, Tatiana Baldina, will show you how to create geometric patterns out of single pieces of timber.

Description

Chip Carving is the art of removing small sections of wood from a single piece of timber, usually to form geometric patterns. Finished pieces can be very intricate and complex, but amazing results can be achieved surprisingly easily with the right guidance.

Unlike many types of woodworking, chip carving requires very few tools, usually just two knives, and is a wonderful way to decorate all manner of existing objects, including boxes, plates, and furniture.

The author guides the reader through the process of creating 15 distinctive projects. The necessary stages are explained with the use of detailed step-by-step photographs and accompanying text. The author also explains how to go about planning and designing each project in preparation for the actual carving process.

Included are 15 simple step-by-step solid-point projects suitable for the absolute beginner. There is also useful information on equipment and techniques to guide you through every step of the way. Whether you wish to decorate a wooden bangle or produce a pleasing work of art, you'll find all you need to know to help you achieve your goal.
