Summary of The Art of Chip Carving: Award-Winning Designs

This all-color photographic celebration of the fine art of chip carving showcases the magnificent work of 20 experts. Follow their tips on tools, wood, marking out, cutting, handling techniques, carving, and finishing. Move on to a gallery of breathtaking projects with detailed patterns: a dish with a geometric cover; decorative plates; an inlaid tabletop; and incredible boxes, clocks, and hangings.
Chip carving normally begins with an already finished object such as a wooden plate or a box, and incorporates carved-in geometric or free-form designs to create an individual work of art and craft. Barton introduces the reader to some of the most well-known carvers, both professional and those who simply pursue the craft out of love. Designs shown in 128 pages of full-color pictures and explanatory text include a basswood lamp base, elaborate box lids, plates, wooden trunks, wall plaques, clocks, and many everyday objects made extraordinary by the carving of well-known professionals and hobbyists--such things as hangers, a breadboard, and a wastebasket. The tools and techniques are explained early on for the uninitiated, and the finished works of the expert carvers are pictured to show readers some of the extraordinary possibilities of learning chip carving for themselves. --Mark A. Hetts
