Just though I would share a photo of the last major chip carving project I completed in December last year.
It is a basswood trunk (~ 24" x 12" x 12"). This trunk was purchased from a vendor at the Norsk Hostfest a few years back and was carved for my mother-in-law Jacque. She requested the project for storage of her America Girl Doll clothing. It was carved with a floral design including a tulip pattern on the top and front of the trunk and a grid & rosette pattern on each side. It was finished with spray polyurethane.
