- Chip Carving - Chip carving, also known as spoon carving is a traditional woodworking technique that involves removing small, V-shaped chips of wood from a flat surface using a carving knife. The technique is often used to create intricate geometric patterns and designs on wooden objects such as bowls, spoons, and boxes.
It is a form of relief carving, which means that the design is raised above the surface of the wood rather than being carved into it. It's a relatively simple technique that does not require a great deal of skill or experience, making it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced woodworkers.
