chip carving tools
I would like to get started learning chip carving. What would you recommend
for equipment and books to get started with. I prefer to get excellent quality tools up front rather than upgrade later on. Any suggestions you can make will be greatly appreciated. Thanks JH |

Hi, please check out my website
http://www.sharp-stuff.com/catalog/i...ex&cPath=59_78. I dont think you will find a better knife or a better price. I sell Helvie knives which are considered some of the best available. If I can be any help let me know. Thanks. Michael Joseph Handy wrote: I would like to get started learning chip carving. What would you recommend for equipment and books to get started with.

Thanks JH Along with the Alpine site, which is Wayne Barton's who I guess is referred to as the Father of Chip Craving in the USA, try taking a look at Dennis Moor's web site,Chippingaway, he's in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and is looked upon as the equivelent of Wayne Barton in Canada, it's a quite extensive wood carving supply web site. The beauty of Chip Carving is the minimal amount of tools required, usually only two knives, a cutting knife and a stab knife, a method of sharpening them, usually a ceramic stone or two and a few drawing instruments like a pencil, compass or maybe a circle template, a ruler and a eraser (G). There rae a number of chip carving books and tools available on Dennis Moor's site Here's Chippingaway's url. http://www.chippingaway.com/WoodCarving/ There are other Chip carving experts out there, but the two mentioned are most likely the most well known in North America. Good luck and enjoy. ICU |
