Chip Carving is the art of removing small sections of wood from a
single piece of timber, usually to form geometric patterns. Finished
pieces can be very intricate and complex but amazing results can be
achieved surprisingly easily with the right guidance. Unlike many
types of woodworking, chip carving requires very few tools, usually
just two knives, and is a wonderful way too decorate all manner of
existing objects including boxes, plates and furniture.
