Love this video, very helpful, would be nice if more chip carvers would explain how to do this work like you do. It would help a lot of first timers understand the process.
I have been researching elements and techniques of my new hobby for a few weeks, and I am very very happy I found this short tutorial. The most straight ahead and clear demonstration I have seen yet... And there have been many!
Do NOT cut boards on your leg like this. Those knives need to be very sharp to do this, and if he slipped he could have cut a femoral artery. Put your work on a table or bench, and point the knife so that if it slips, it won't cut into any meat!

The best video to show how to do it Very professional! Thank you!
Thank u I’ve just started getting into chip carving and so far this has been the best beginners guide I’ve seen.
You make it look so easy. Thank you
Daft questions but what wood is best to practice with?
Poplar might be a good choice in north America. A relatively cheap and soft hardwood
basswood
