Chip Carving Instructions
For HOLDING PHOTOGRAPH OR POST CARD
A. The grain of the wood in this easel should run vertically as the drawing is shown in this plate. One should not attempt to carve any pattern until one has succeeded in carving the design on a practice piece of wood. The model may or may not be planed thin at the wide end.
B. The heavy line indicating the valley and the miter lines at the corners are the important lines in the lay-out of this design. The carving of this pattern should start at the inner end of the fret, care being taken not to cut across any ridge. The sectional drawing shows ridges and valleys.
