Lesson 4: Proper Technique
Needed in this lesson: chip carving knife, basswood practice board, mechanical pencil, t-square
We’ve all heard many times that “practice makes perfect”. But really this is faulty advice. It’s
not “practice” that makes perfect, but rather, “perfect practice makes perfect”.
This is very true when it comes to chip carving. Developing proper technique from the start will
lead to good results in short order and a lifetime of enjoyable carving.
Bad habits can be hard to break so watch this lesson as many times as needed until you feel comfortable repeating the procedure just like you see demonstrated.
Proper technique will result in consistently angled cuts that meet in the same place at the bottom
of each chip. You’ll see what I mean as you watch Lesson 4: Chip Carving Technique.

Ask if you have any questions.
Until next time…
