Chip carving is the simplest, quickest, most portable form of woodworking there is. Over 100 patterns to make drawer fronts, chair backs, and clockfaces, and mix and match these dozens of designs in hundreds of combinations. "The largest selection of patterns in any book. Sure to delight all who do chip carving."-- Chip Chats .
This is a another great book by Wayne Barton. His patterns are wonderful and very well drawn.
Definitely the second book to own.

Some of what is in this book is also in the first book.Technically this book could stand on its own and that's why the repitition. However, this book is more pattern oriented than the first book. It has two more typefaces that can be photocopied and used for lettering projects and more patterns that are somewhat more advanced than the first book. The biggest help for a beginning chip carver is to acquirle a collection of patterns and typefaces to use for any carving projects. This could be used as a starting point for anyone interested in chip carving, but the rosettes and the lettering patterns in the first book are invaluable as well.
Great source for patterns and ideas

Book is great for borders and traditional patterns and gives some basic tips, but does not give details on how to achieve the effects shown.
