Chip carving is that art of forming intricate geometric patterns by carefully cutting away small triangles of wood to slowly create the full project. Tatiana Baldina's incredibly detailed instructions, with photographs accompanying every step, will allow even a complete beginner through the process of recreating her patterns, while more experienced carvers will relish the opportunity to try out new designs. The projects can be used to decorate all manner of objects, from boxes to plates and wall panels to furniture.
