I am trying to locate a pattern for chip carved cross. Some other threads here have shown some - most notably Papasar's - but am still looking for others as well. I looked at the Celtic cross offerings here also but maybe someone can tell me about Wayne Bartons? I see he has a book "The Art Of Chip Carving" by Wayne Barton and it appears there are some crosses/crucifix in it. Has anyone experience with this book? Looks good from the vantage point of lots of carvers have offerings of different things as well.

Hello, you were asking about Wayne Barton and I can tell you this you won't find a better person to talk to or take a class from than him. He in my mind is #1 when it comes to developing designs. I have taken two classes with him and I learned a great deal about designing. He is a traditionalist so he teaches the swiss way of chip carving and uses the swiss style chip carving knife. I have a gothic style cross pattern that I used for a church cross.

No question about Wayne Barton, another is Canadas answer to Wayne and thats Dennis Moor..............and there are lots and lots of good chip carved cross designs out there, do a google search, can't think of any other names right off...?
