I’m going to give chip carving a try. We’ll see how it goes. I promise to post practice boards .. even if they’re embarrassing.

Wayne Barton’s Complete Guide to Chip Carving is an excellent reference as well.
I’ve always admired the decorations done with this style. I’m more into relief carving, but after watching the “Chip Carving” episode of season 4 Woodwrights Shop, I’m tempted to try my hand at it.
Good luck, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, it’s how we learn!
Can’t wait to see your results. I’ve been wanting to try this (and relief carving) as well. Gotta stay focused on the workbench until I get it finished though.

I should try chip carving at my studies this winter. I’m a little worried, because it looks so hard to do… :/ Luckily there’s a lot of videos about chip carving in Youtube. 🙂
