MISCELLANEOUS
CARVING STYLES
Chip carving is fun and easy to do.  It only uses one knife, so it is an economical way to get started in
carving.  These rondels are typical of the ornaments my students make when they take my chip-carving
class. 2.5"
These plates were made to commemorate the 75th birthdays of my mother (left), and father (right).  The photo
between them shows the reverse of Dad's plate with his geneology burned into the wood; Mom's has one too.
These are a combination of chip and relief carving. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos- someday I'll have
to trake some better pictures.
This piece was chip carved on both sides and resulted in a
lacy pattern. Although too delicate for any practical purpose,
this is a purty thang.

These three carvings are caricatures. The dog was carved following a video by Tom Wolfe, in Benjamin's collection. The mule
cane top was carved for my father in 2006. The Wizard was going to be a Santa- but I don't do Santas- so he became a wizard.
Gnome Homes
are an amazing
variation for
carvers to make
us use our
imaginations to
construct
abodes for
mythical
creatures. This
was my first, in
2006, and it
came out OK. I
prefer my usual
precise carving
style, but these
are fun too. In
the collection of
Archana.
