No woodworker should be without these classic chip carving patterns. Whatever style and design you want is here; and every pattern looks great in color. Monogramed letters within a foliage framework are elegant and sophisticated, while geometric motifs carved in a rosette are intricate and boldly graphic. Designs that drop out of wood and appear to be inlaid are perfect on the panels of kitchen cabinet doors. And free-form patterns incised into the wood, such as animals, birds, flowers, and foliage, lend a touch of nature.
