File ChipCarving.JPG thumb right Chipcarving in wood Chipcarving or chipcarving , kerbschnitt in German, is a style of carving in which knives or chisel s are used to remove small chips of the material from a flat surface in a single piece. The style became important in Migration Period art Migration Period metalwork, mainly Animal style jewellery, where the faceted surfaces created caught the light to give a glinting appearance. This was very probably a transfer to metalworking of a technique already used in woodcarving, but no wooden examples have survived. Famous Anglo Saxon examples include the jewellery from Sutton Hoo and the Tassilo Chalice , though the style originated in mainland Europe. In later British and Irish metalwork, the same style was imitated using casting , which is often called imitation chipcarving , a term also sometimes applied to pottery decorated in a similar way. Woodwork In modern wood carving , the style is also called spoon carving . The style is traditional in the folk art of many countries. Patterns can be free form style or based on geometric figures. In America it is mostly used with basswood , Caryocar nuciferum butternut , pine , or mahogany . Chipcarving knives can also be used for whittling , cabinet making , and general workbench purposes.

The main types of chalk, for the purposes of the carver, are processed and non processed natural .

orphan date February 2010 Extreme Carving or Extremecarving is a coined term describing a particular form of Snowboarding Freecarve carving on a snowboard . Features of extreme carving that distinguish it from other kinds of snowboard carving include The use of wider boards to accommodate extreme edge angles the angle between board base and snow surface produced deep in turns. Heel and toe overhang prevent narrower boards from reaching angles close to 90 degrees that are experienced in extreme carving. High degree of extension to the whole of the body during the middle of the carved turn, when the snowboard is facing down the Fall line skiing fall line of the slope. Proactive compression of the body during edge transitions. This maneuver is also known as a cross through or push pull turn. During any carved turn on a sufficiently steep slope, the perceived g force g force will build up at the end of the carve, resulting in a natural compression of the body. The proactive compression in extremecarving is different from this natural compression in that it is done by pulling the legs up in anticipation of the additional force, instead of allowing the legs to get pushed up as a reaction to the additional force. Large, progressive rotation of the torso in the turning direction, such that the rider s shoulders and chest is perpendicular to the toe edge during toe side turns, and facing towards the nose of the board during heel side turns. This is in contrast with contemporary carving methodology that indicates that one s torso should stay at an angle midway between the angles of the two bindings, and also with the old school technique where the torso faces the nose of the board at all times.

orphan date August 2009 Wax carving is the shaping of wax using tools usually associated with machining rotary tools, saws, files and burin s or gravers. Actual knives can be used and most certainly are, but the hardness of the material is such that they are not the ideal tool, generally. To carve wax, the proper size and shape of block or tube is chosen, in the preferred hardness, and cut to a rough size, as needed. Then the design is generally drawn or laid out on that, and saws, files or machine tools are used to work the wax into a finished product. The wax is easily taken to a fine finish in the end using a bit of nylon stocking or steel wool. After the wax product is finished, it may be molded or used in the lost wax casting process to create a final cast product. Casting waxes There are a wide variety of wax types used in the lost wax casting process. Generally they fall into three main types, soft, hard and injection waxes. Injection waxes are made and intended to be used for injecting wax under pressure into rubber or other types of molds. They can be carved and worked otherwise, but they are not specifically designed for that use. Their properties more often target good injection properties flow, low shrinkage, pot life and etc. Soft waxes are sometimes called sculpting waxes, and generally have a consistency resembling clay. Generally the techniques used in working soft waxes are similar to those used with clay and involve the use of wooden or metal spatulas, direct molding with the fingers and the like. Carving wax Carving wax is a smooth, non brittle wax designed for carving and or machining. Although the formulas for most commercial wax es are proprietary, most suppliers will state that hard wax es are some blend of wax es and plastic s.

How to date September 2009 Unreferenced date November 2007 Leather carving is the process of giving a three dimensional appearance to leather by a process of cutting and stamping the surface.

Other leathers lack these two essential qualities. Tools Leather carving is accomplished using three main tools Swivel knife used to make the bold cuts that define the pattern or image being carved Rawhide textile Rawhide mallet used to drive the stamps used to mat down the background and create shading and patterns Stamp set A set of stamping tools used to shape and color the leather to create the final image.
