Default Chip Carving a basket weave pattern
I'm looking for some help in chip carving a basket weave pattern on a box. I have it laid out and have chipped out some of the pattern, but it looks like a bunch of tiny squares in rows. Are there any suggestions for getting the over and under pattern of the weave to look right?
Thanks,
Neil

Neil,

I've done that once in a class with Wayne Barton. We started drawing the lines diagonally one way, and then the other. Then it looks like a weave. You can see what I mean with the attachment. It's not very good, I just copied it from a web image, but it might help.

Good Luck,
Dan

Neil,
I chip carve Celtic designs and the knotwork is a kind of weave. Carving a thin line at the intersections does the trick. You don't have to slant the cuts to show going over and under. Even though it is a flat surface, it gives the illusion of weaving.
