I have had alot of things going on especially this time of year. I have been looking in although briefly and the carvings and advice on this site are the best. I joined a carving club here in Pa a few months ago and it is about an hour from where I live. I really enjoy the group of people in the club with all the different styles of carving it just amazes me. Here is a chip carved trivet that I finished not to long ago it was kinda hard to do as it was my first attempt at chip carving and I had to keep my knife very sharp as I did it in a piece of white pine with a knot in it..Enjoy and as always comments or suggestions are always appreciated...Bruce

Bruce, your execution is wonderful on such a difficult wood to chip carve because of the soft and hard grain. You have a nice design but I would have made the small squares into flowers to change their value. It would have set off the curved triangles better. Please keep in mind this is only my opinion and if you like it then mission accomplished. Keep up the great work!
