Topic tags/keywords: chip carving holly 2
Most of my woodcarving is what is called chip carving and can be very detailed. This past year at a woodcarving show there is a very good miniature caricature carver who made a miniature chip carving. All I could say was “if he can do that I can.” So the challenge was on and at the Dayton woodcarving show there was a category for a carving that had to fit into a 2” cube so I made a 1 7/8” cube, just in case their box was small. LOL! I made this cube out of holly wood because of the small details basswood would not hold them and holly would. Well I did take a blue ribbon with it after all. -- " All Things At First Appear Difficult" |

That looks very painstaking.. you must have a lot of patience to do that. You should post this as a project so more people will see it. -- I'll grow up when ketchup bottle farts stop being funny. |

Debbie: Maybe revise your challenge to be something to fit in a 2” box. That way it wouldn’t be limited to carving. -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood. Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com † |

After seeing this, I broke out a few of my antique carving knives to see if I could carve anything at all. -- I really dont have time for all this, this nonsense. |

Holy moses at the perfection in those cuts. I’m not sure I could do that, even though I’ve take a class with Barry… Nice work! |
