For a fresh new look, I used traditional chips to create two summer scenes. I use the tiles as coasters, but they would also make great decorations for a memorabilia box or key holder. If you want a more colorful finish, learn <a href=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/?p=24416&amp;preview=true\">how to add stain<\/a> to make the chip details pop!<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 57.619%;\">\n<h3><strong>Making a Coaster<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cut the squares to size. Transfer the patterns to the blanks using a hot tool with a laser print or graphite transfer paper. Strop your knife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I use simple three-corner chips with straight edges to carve these scenes. Refer to the photos to keep track of where the deepest part of the chip should be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Apply several light coats of acrylic spray finish or apply an oil finish, such as walnut, tung, or boiled linseed oil.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 42.381%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/chip-carving-a-summer-scene\/web-strop-talk-39-summer-coasters-inset-landing-image\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24406\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24406\" src=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WEB-Strop-Talk-39-Summer-Coasters-Inset-Landing-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WEB-Strop-Talk-39-Summer-Coasters-Inset-Landing-Image.jpg 600w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WEB-Strop-Talk-39-Summer-Coasters-Inset-Landing-Image-300x370.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WEB-Strop-Talk-39-Summer-Coasters-Inset-Landing-Image-150x185.jpg 150w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WEB-Strop-Talk-39-Summer-Coasters-Inset-Landing-Image-405x500.jpg 405w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 348px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 348px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 54.7619%; height: 348px;\">\n<h4><strong>TIP<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #3252b3;\">Warming Up<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Carve several chips on a practice board before you start the project.
