    Hi, I started carving in 2013 and enjoy whittling and chip carving. I joined the Santa Clara Valley Carvers club (Chapter 1) in 2014. Visit my website, READ N TRY, to see more of my woodcarving projects and explore chip carving patterns that I designed over the years.

    This chip carved coaster set is a conversation-starting project that is quick to carve and can be personalized by adding themed decorations in the middle.

    Small hearts whittled from basswood.

    Carving a stylized heart is an easy whittling project and can be done with just a knife using off-cuts from larger projects. I often paint them red or pink and give them away on Valentine’s Day.

    A serving board with a combination of traditional and a free-style chip carving. It design features a small tree growing under the sun.

    The image is not in portrait orientation, so it requires a lot of text to fill in that empty space.

    Thanks for reviewing my gallery!

    Happy carving,
    Roman
