Chip carving is a decorative form of carving used to enhance a piece of furniture or a small object like a jewelry box, by incising a pattern or design directly into the surface of the wood.  The two-day workshop covers a brief history of chip carving, the chip carving knife and how to sharpen it, layout and design, along with carving and finishing techniques.
