Default 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

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.
