I just thought I would show everyone a little bit of the process of chip carving an ornament. This ornament is a basswood 3 1/2” hexagon 3/16 thick. I chose to clear coat this with Deft Lacquer so the clean of cuts could be seen and not hid by the staining. I hope this encourages others to at least try chip carving. Thanks for looking!
PS: I do sell these ornaments on eBay from time to time if anyone is interested.

Very nice!

I wouldn’t have the eyes or fine motor control to do such fine work.

Cool thanks for sharing this Roger. Chip carving is something that I have never tried, maybe I’ll have to give it a go sometime. All your carvings are great!!

Very cool. I know I pester you. But can you do a blog on how you sharpen those knives?

This is a beautiful project. I would be hesitant to even try something like this. My hand skills simply aren’t good enough to even attempt this. I probably would end up carving my thumb.

Thanks for sharing. The workmanship that this displays speaks volumes to your patience and craftmanship.

Everytime I see a carving project I think two things:

1) That looks like it takes a long time.

2) Man that looks really hard.

Do you have some recommendations on how to start (books, tutorials, videos, ect.)?

Tim

PS – I forget to mention that the ornament is very cool :)
