The Art Of Chip Carving is an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to
one of the world's most ancient and widely practiced forms of
woodcarving. Anyone, from the completely inexperienced beginner to
the veteran craftsperson, can learn to use simple, inexpensive
tools and techniques to carve striking decorative designs in wood.
Chip carving is an especially good introduction to working wood for
the inexperienced because of its low cost-of-entry, and because it
puts the most essential concepts of woodworking front and center:
safety, precision, and how understanding the nature of the wood
itself leads to successful results. This guide is loaded with the
technical information you need to start chip carving-the few tools
you need and how to sharpen them, how to select and prepare wood
for carving, how to transfer carving patterns, how to carve safely
and precisely, and how to read and understand wood grain. Clay also
teaches the basics of good carving technique, provides step-by-step
guidance through two practice boards to build your skills, and then
walks you through ten beginner projects that allow you to put your
skills to use. The Art Of Chip Carving goes beyond any other how-to
manual by introducing techniques and projects for learning freehand
carving, and how to use the simple shape-vocabulary of chip carving
to create your own carving designs in the style of traditional
European folk carvings.
