[Woodcarver] chip carving

[Martin Leenhouts]

Hi Alan,
  Welcome to the wonderful world of chip carving!
  It's a great skill to learn. I've been carving for over 20 years and still love it.
I've taught many people how to chip carve and can probably offer you some 
help. I work with Wayne Barton and sell his materials as they are the best you'll find.
  
Proper technique and proper practice is the key.
I'd suggest the same materials I used when I first started.

1. Chip Carving DVD - you can watch this instruction over and over until 
you've got it down.

2. Complete Guide to Chip Carving - in this book you'll find helpful tips 
along with layout and design ideas.

Both items are available at http://www.mychipcarving.com/books.htm

  If you have questions and would like to talk, feel free to call me at 866-444-6996.
   
  I'll add your name to my free Chip Carving Chat letter I send out occasionally. I think you'll find it inspiring along with providing you with instruction and some free patterns.
  The My Chip Carving Free Pattern Archive is available at: http://mychipcarving.com/archive.htm

  I'm adding instruction to my website and have the first tutorial on proper technique for holding the knife at http://www.mychipcarving.com/chipcarvingmn.html
   
  Happy carving!
  Marty
