If you have never tried chip carving before or think chip carving is too hard then try carving the chip carving patterns shared below.

Hi, my name is Roman. I designed these chip carving patterns to learn chip carving more easily. These chip carving patterns remind me of an exploding star so I call the patterns Supernova. The patterns are suitable for beginners and fun to carve by experienced chip carvers. You may download the patterns as a printable PDF doc at the end of this article. Two versions of the Supernova chip carving patterns are available: round and square.

The Supernova pattern is the ultimate project for a new chip carver as it is easy to carve. I spaced all the chips apart, so no two chips share a sharp edge between them. That makes the project forgiving to some common mistakes that lead to broken or uneven ridges. Both round and square patterns consist of 108 three-corner chips each.

I am very glad that the patterns were featured in the Woodcarving Illustrated magazine. Issue 87, Summer 2019.

After carving slightly sand the board and apply a few coats of acrylic spray finish to protect the wood. Enjoy your coasters.

Tip: carving rosettes is the best way to learn carving with the grain as the chips are aligned to the grain at many different angles. Carve a chip or two on a practice board before carving your project.
