There are many patterns and projects to like in this book, but the favorite parts I found were those contributed by Barry McKenzie. His focus is on Old World Style chip carving and he describes how to carve OWS leaf patterns and icicle ornaments.Â
Â
Along with this Barry also shares some nice OWS patterns that will work nicely on the 4 Square Coaster Set! You'll get a glimpse of these in the pictures above.
Â
If you've ever wanted to chip carve a Chess Set, this book has a pattern for it as well. I don't think I've seen one anywhere else.Â
Â
Other projects include eggs, golf balls, spoon rack, crosses, mangle board and more.Â
Â
You won't be disappointed if you choose to add this book to your library!

One thing I disliked about this book was that it was printed in China. 😞
My dad has shared with me how exporting printing work to China has crushed a lot of the US printing industry.
