Good explanation

[@againstthegrainchipcarvings]

Thanks. It's a bit of a tricky concept to understand, especially trying to remember whether to pay attention to the grain on the outside of the chip or the inside.

Si può fare solo con il legno di tiglio, gli altri legni sono più duri e non di riesce ad usare il coltello

[@againstthegrainchipcarvings]

I wouldn't say lime wood (or basswood, as it's known here) is the only kind that works for this. It's definitely the most common, but I know other people do chip carve other types of wood. It takes longer, you have to make smaller chips, and you often can't have as detailed of designs as with basswood.
