B. Particular care should be taken to cut the grooves of uniform width, The crosses in the background are merely lines stabbed four times with the point of the knife at the intersection of the cross. In making any carving having radiating chips as in this pattern, which is an adaptation of the Greek honeysuckle, care must be taken to make the center of radiation as perfect as possible.
