Chris Pye Signature Series


The first dedicated Slipstone Series designed by a Professional Master Woodcarver!

Chris Pye has been developing this range of dedicated slipstones with Norton Pike for over 3 years.

The slipstones are square and have different profiles on each of the 4 edges. These range from very flat to semicircular with two incremental curves in between. You will quickly see that the range of stones reduce in thickness from 3/4" (19mm) to 1/2" (12mm) to 1/4" (6mm)down to 1/8" (3mm). This covers all the requirements for sharpening large and narrow gouges.

There is a special stone for sharpening V tools, a 8 x 2" double sided fine coarse bench stone and an 8 x 2" arkansas bench stone to complete the series.

The bench stones both come with a small tin of Norton stone oil (4.5 fl oz) and are houses in a plastic holder.

The unique feature of these slipstones is that you can fit one of the 4 edges to exactly (or closely) match the sweep of your gouge to create an inside bevel or to remove any burr.
Chris Pye Signature Series Ref: CHT 647

The slipstones and benchstones from this Chris Pye Signature Series come well presented with clear written instructions.

The Chris Pye Woodcarving Zone

Chris Pye is an internationally renowned master carver. He is determined to bring the joy of carving to the masses and as a teacher and author he is uniquely placed to offer first class instruction to all carvers, whatever their level.

How can this be achieved? Well Chris can teach you himself, one to one in his workshop on the English/Welsh border.

He takes classes at West Dean College and at various locations in in The USA.

You can read one of his books (listed and available in this section).

You can watch one of his 3 excellent DVDs (again available here).

Or you can subscribe to his new woodcarving channel (launched Spring 2011) which he has painstakingly created jointly with his lovely wife Carrie. Literally dozens of tutorials are available for you to access for a very reasonable monthly fee (no we are not on commission).

Chris has also designed a set of carving slipstones with Norton Pike from The USA and is soon to launch a set of basic woodcarving tools. He has worked with an internationally renowned manufacturer of tools that still use hand forging techniques to produce very fine tools similar to the old Addis & Herring carving tools of yesteryear.
