Starter Set Carving Tools
« on: February 22, 2013, 06:19:36 PM »
Looking for advice.. I have just started and am looking for a starter set.. something that will have a lil everything (or close).
Today I picked this set up at my local wood shop. If this is not what I should have gotten I can take it back and pick up something different..
All input is appreciated!

More questions to come!

yep, thats what I use and yes, its what you want.  Good general set.  Learn what cuts each tool does and sharpening of them.  Then, its just about adding more (specialty tools and sizes) to your line as you need them.  But thats the basics of tools you have right there.  Now if only you knew where to get some mahogany...... *peep*

Keep them sharpened.  Get the sharpening block made special for those tools..... it has a strop and specially shaped grooves for each tool.  Go to thier web site for it or amazon.  Another tip.....  look up Lora Irish carving on the net.  Good free patterns and lots of tips from there.  Amazon also sells some great books.---Jason
