    Default Chains

    I've always been fascinated by wooden chains, and recently had a go at carving one. I was so impressed, I made a second one

    My first attempt used large links and was relatively easy to work with a 12mm chisel. Spurred on by my success I had a go at a smaller one, and this took much more time and effort and required a 3mm gouge to separate the links.

    Other than novelty pieces, any ideas how to use/display them?

    Hi SJM,
    That is really nice work. What sort of woods are they? Cheers, Joe.
