      I am impressed with your work Jane, it is a really lovely piece!

      While I have never tried the sort of wood carving you do, I became interested in German Chip Carving when I was working in that country over thirty years ago. I was in digs with a family in a small village and the grandfather of the family used to sit in his chair by the fire and carve away!
      He recognised my interest and showed me the basics.

      My work is mainly in the 'flat' and I tend to decorate existing objects like boxes etc.

      Just putting 'Chip Carving' in search will give you an idea what I am on about . .
