Chip Carving Studio/Museum/Showroom

Located at the Barry McKenzie School for Chip Carving  in Lebanon, Missouri on the "Mother Road" Route 66 from Chicago to L.A..


The Studio/Museum/Showroom/Classroom is located in the Barry McKenzie School for Chip Carving Show Barn that is located outside of city limits on the outer road west of I-44 between the little town of Sleeper and Lebanon.


Turning on Route 66 at the Best Western Motel located at exit 130 go 3.2 miles east or north (the compass points north) on the outer road. The barn faces Route 66 and is log cabin sided. Foot bridge by mailbox has a sign that reads "Chip Carving."


Over a period of many years "Old World" style and traditional chip carving has been purchased or chip carved by Barry for the show room.


A trip to the Netherlands August 2003 more items where purchased and can be found in the Chip Carvers Studio/Museum/Showroom.


Others chip carved items have been heavily influenced by his trips to Switzerland, Sweden and northern Italy. 


Most of Barry's chip carving that he will not sell and have designated to go to his grandchildren someday are located in the Studio/Workshop/Showroom or decorating their home.


Plan on taking a few hours if you wish to see and study all of the chip carving in the Show Room.


The sign out front of the barn reads "Please Call Ahead" 417-532-8434." If Barry is there he will gladly open up. There are no fixed hours.


Barry is always adding more chip carvings all the time that sometimes he might sell. Have questions on chip carving? This is the place to stop off at on your way to Branson, Missouri (2 hours away) or passing by Lebanon, Missouri on I-44 highway.


"Out goal is to preserve chip carving as we practice it today and to promote chip carving for the enjoyment of tomorrow."
