The Alpine School online store features all the tools and resources needed to create wonderful chip carvings. Our chip carving knives and sharpening stones were designed by Wayne Barton. They are manufactured in the U.S. to exacting standards, using top quality materials. We also stock basswood plates in many styles and basswood practice boards to help implement your patterns and skills.
I design and create a large variety of wordcarving pieces. Call me to discuss your particular need.
