remember im young and im on a budget so if you could post free ones that would b great

ps i just signed up 4 wood carver illustrated in september and i still havent recieved a carving book

I'd visit www.carvingpatterns.com

Lora S. Irish has posted a few free patterns there. But all you need to make your own patterns is a pencil, a straight edge, a compass, and some graph paper (and if you do a google search, you can even find places where people have made PDFs of graph paper you can just print out)...

Can't get any cheaper than that!

PS: PM me your name and address and I'll check on your issue.

Wadded,

I would suggest spending a couple of dollars, and buy Wayne Barton's "Chip Carving Techiques and Patterns". There are a bunch of patterns, and instruction on drawing your own borders, rosettes, etc. This book is only 12.95 at chipcarving.com.

Good Luck,
Dan Heine

Dennis Moor's new book, Chip Carver's Workbook is another good buy...
