Description
Chipping Away began operation in 1992 when Pop (Dennis Moor) took an early retirement and decided to keep a few cans of beans in the cupboard by means of selling his carvings. He soon found himself being asked to teach chip carving as well as present seminars at some of the local wood shows. Rogers Public Television asked him to do a television series of 45 individual shows in which he appeared as Host. The show was appropriately named 'Chipping Away with Dennis Moor'. As his popularity grew, Pop began to travel throughout the USA to exhibit and teach at shows and competitions. Todd (Dennis' son) could see the fun Pop was having and became involved in the business immediately after graduating and receiving university diplomas in Science and Teaching. Chipping Away blossomed and this Father & Son Team became loved across North America.
Listening to the needs and suggestions of their students, the Moor's designed their own carving knives and found a manufacturer in western New York State willing to take a chance with the project. They soon were selling over 10,000 knives a year. In addition to their knives, Chipping Away manufactures Ultimate Sharpening Machine, Leather Strops and Belts, Sharpie Sticks, Ceramic Sharpening Stones, Drawing templates, and a complete line of basswood and butternut wood products. Chipping Away is always receptive to new ideas and suggestions and actively pursues new products for the wood art hobbyist. Our products can be found at many quality woodcarving retailers across North America and the UK.
Dennis and Todd wrote and designed their own chip carving instruction and pattern books in the early 90's. These original books were produced on a photocopier and sold at shows and in their classes. As the demand for more and more patterns increased, as well as the popularity of the books, Chipping Away took the next step to publish their own books complete with professional printing and binding. We now publish 7 chip carving titles and a book on Relief Carving and Wood Burning under various artists names.
