 nostr:npub1a79gkc9t2x7j7p4ytru7dr9jk93053fc0gt9767f6uljkkw5pskqrk46mt Karvsnitt, from Lost Art Press had a number of patterns and ideas I ended up incorporating into this bench I’m working on. But that uses a knife-based method of carving, whereas I use gouges more. But the ideas are all similar. https://lostartpress.com/products/karvsnitt-carving-pattern-color-in-the-slojd-tradition

Chris Pye’s “Lettercarving in Wood: A Practical Course” is also highly recommended. I did the edges of this similar to the way Chris teaches you to do letters, and overall, that’s more my style than the slöjd-based style of Karvsnitt.
