Welcome to the Gouge Chipping web site.

 - I started developing the Gouge Chip Carving technique in 1997 and went public in 2002.

 - Gouge Chipping is quick and easy to learn.

 - The cuts are simple - a vertical cut and the removal of a chip from the convex side of the vertical cut.

 - The only tools used are four gouges. 

 - There are five design forms - flowers, vines, diamonds & hexagons, snowflakes and pinwheels.

  - Actual designs combine one or more of the forms.       

 

I can be reached by e-mail.
