Customer Reviews

This is the one you've been waiting for!

After you've read and mastered any other chip carving technique, this one comes along as a surprise. Barton reviews other styples and applications of chip carving so that when he explains positive image motif, you get the full impact of what it does. Positive Image motif is a radical change from traditional chip carving but one that is certainly very pleasing. The carver would have to develop his drawing skills to do it, but the results are well worth it! For anyone who works with wood, this is a book that adds an entirely new dimension to any woodworking project.
