You may buy the highest quality basswood boards with applied chip carving patterns; they are ready for chip carving. These basswood boards are smooth but not sanded. A computerized system is used to apply the patterns with a regular mechanical pencil (0.5 mm) for easy clean-up.
The board size is 1/4 x 4 x 8″ (0.6 x 10 x 20 cm). The patterns are applied with narrow margins so the carved and finished square coasters will be 3.75″ (9.5 cm) in size.

Howdo I print the free Patterns? Also how do I transfer the pattern to the wood? I am very new at this.
Mark, thank you for asking. I shared some of my chip carving patterns with public through Woodcarving Illustrated magazine http://woodcarvingillustrated.com/. The magazine features my articles/patterns in two issues: Summer 2018 and Summer 2019.
You may make copies of the patterns from the magazine and transfer them to wood using heat or carbon paper techniques. Also some of those patterns (transferred to the wooden boards) are available in the Store section of this website. Thanks!
