Hello and welcome, chip carving is a wonderful type of carving. Check out the Relief and Chip Carving Forum if you haven't already.

Hello everyone, started carving when I got a palm set for Christmas. Have done some relief carving. Currently working on a rocky horse head for my first granddaughter.
I work offshore as a Paramedic. During my off time I usually do scrollsaw work, til I found carving.

chipper,
my wife and me made a agreement three +years ago. I woulld carve and make funny caricatures, and leave chips on the floor in the living room...... and I would vacuum and dust when I got done..simple... by the way she's the boss and I think she came up with this idea.
