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., Chip carving may be the simplest form of woodworking. With a single knife and only a handful of easy-to-learn techniques, you can create beautiful surface designs that will step people in their tracks. Safe and easily accessible, chip carving can be done almost anywhere you have a worksurface or a comfortable chair to sit in. You can create designs ranging from the traditional carving patterns of ancient cultures to wholly modern designs of your own creation. In Chip Carving, seasoned carver Daniel, Clay walks you through every step of the process. With only this book and a knife, you'll soon be carving elegant-and seemingly complex-patterns in wood. Inside You'll Learn: The three simple cuts that form the basis of every chip-carved surface. How to create crisp, clean designs and top them off with the perfect paint or finish.
