Introduction to Chip Carving for Wooden Patterns

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. It has been a genuine joy sharing my knowledge and experience with you. Thank you so much. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the course. Now I'd like to remind you of some of the most important steps we took during the course that you should remember when doing your course project: 

 Transferring the Design Design the pattern you want to carve and transfer it onto the wood.

Sharpening the Knife Ensure your knife is sharp and you feel comfortable with all the carving techniques and safety tips. Starting to Carve Warm up by carving on the backside of your final project or another wooden board. Start with the easiest cuts and then continue with the rest of your design. Remember that this is a long process, and you must be patient to achieve the best possible result. Cleaning the Piece Make sure to clean all the cuts, remove any excess wood, clean the ink line with a knife, and use an eraser or a 1000+ grain sandpaper sheet to remove undesired marks smoothly. Finishing Touches Decide your finishing touch, and apply one option that fits your style! Oil will give a yellowish tinge to the piece, and dark stain will give it an old-school look; varnish will most likely keep the natural wood tone. And that's it! Thank you so much for taking part in this course. I can't wait to see your project! You can share your project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project." Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. If you have any questions, be sure to ask them! I will reply as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I encourage you to interact with each other. Communication fuels creativity. So, don't be afraid to reach out and collaborate with others. But most of all, have fun! See you in the forum!”

“Final Project Thank you for taking part of this course. I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully you can use it in a professional way or as a hobby. Chip carving is more simple than you might think. Now, I would like to give you some tips and reminders. Most importantly, health and safety come first. Keep the knives away from your children if you carve at home and rest every 20 minutes or so to correct your posture. Regarding the grips of the knife, please use only the two that I've showed you. The first grip using the hand, blocking the handle with your thumb, and the second position, pushing w...”
