Double tea light holder, by Josephine Stueven

[Marty Leenhouts]

Marty, if any member is interested in the design, the front can be found on p.91 of Barton’s book NEW & TRADITIONAL STYLES OF CHIP CARVING  and the side can be found on p. 113 of Barton’s CHIP CARVING DESIGN AND PATTERN SOURCE BOOK.  The sprigs in the pattern are my ‘fill-in’ ideas.

Also, many carvers don’t know how to enlarge or shrink a design to fit the wood they’re working with.  The formula to do this can be found in the preface of Rita Blanton’s book CHIPPING AWAY PRESENTS 110 PATTERNS FOR CHIP CARVERS.
