Chip Carving a Rosette - My Chip Carving 119

In the my chip carving lesson number 116 I showed you how to draw this 12 point rosette that I’m carving right now. One, two of that is really handy when it comes to lighting us out as 1:00 plate like is this instance center finder. Instant center finder hooks on the edge of your plate and automatically and instantly finds the center so as you can draw those lines in any direction across the center of your plate. So the essence of center finder can find in my chip carving store and check it out maybe you’ll find it quite as handy as I did when I come to laying out this rosette on the six inches plate. Now when it comes to chip carving this rosette, the two basic rules large tips first and carve away from your previous chips. So you can see I’ve already made some progress around here, take out the large chips and I’m working my way right from right to left because I’m right handed. I made the first cut on this chip already so now I make the second cut starting shallow. And going to deep, now this are quite large chips and this piece of vast wood that I’m carving on this plate is pretty tough so getting that depth isn’t real easy. You can see that I have put my six inch scoop plate on top of another board instead on my lap this allows me a little bit more leverage that I can get when I tried to hold it on my lap. Parts have remained in the bottom going the same position with your knife then take it out until it’s nice and cleaned up. Okay, so there is that chip, move my way to the next one right next to it carving away from the previous chip. There is a deep part and dry it all the way out right to the end. And that’s a tough one, so to believe that all of your chips just pop out instantly really isn’t true. So I’m showing you as I carved this for you and sometimes things have couple of passes to get those really big chips to come out like I just had happened to me right there. So I will go down and clean up right in the bottom so that’s a really nice looking chip when I’m done with it. Next I’ll work on this four chips, in a shallow there is a deep part right there and I’m going to take the first cut on this next chip right in line with it. So I have to spend my plate around the middle time. Stop right there and then come right up the center now. This chip is nearly so big, so I don’t need to go so deep. And then I will take the next chip out right here, carving away from my previous chip to begin with and them making the third cut. Right up the center. Okay, so that’s those two and now I will work on the next two. Again be sure to carve away on that first cut. Okay, and I get 6:12 and clean up, don’t gouge it up. Instead go back in with that same position with your knife I’m rolling bit down in this chip and in this. You can do that now, the more you can it later on, about cleaning that up real nice. Okay, next I’ll take out this chip in the middle here or I can work up on the top either here or here it doesn’t really matter. Let’s go ahead and do this one next. From the shallow there is the white part so it’s the deepest part and drawing the knife out. Okay, until that couple is with the grain and it lifted right out and this particular chip I took it with the grain cut first so it doesn’t lift that ahead of me if made that my very last cut. Now what I’ve got all the major chips on the outside of this rosette removed. We can go ahead and take out piece of smaller chips on the inside petals. This are much smaller, so they’re a lot easier to carve I’m not nearly the depth of those previous chips we were doing. So I can catch a breath a little bit and enjoy taking out this smaller chips. Okay, that was quick and easy carving those petals all that’s left is the ring around the outside. Carving away from you’re previous chips means you carve on the inside line to begin with. And just slowly rotate the plate and as you make your cut. And there you have it the twelve point rosette all the way from lay out and design how to draw it. Show you how to carve this beautiful rosette, use proper technique, proper practice and you get some great results in no time. Keep practicing, keep making chips and email me if there is anything I can do to help you. It’s Marty at MyChipCarving.com.
