I agree with previous post and suggstion on buying beginner carving
set. Don't buy a beginner set or a set at all. Buy a good quality 2 -3 chisels at first.one staright and another one or two rounded chisel and add as your experience and interest grows. A set usually cheaper than individual chisels will contail some chisels you will probably never use. A good quality chisel will keep it's sharpness better than cheaper one and a sharp chisel makes a world of difference in amount of work and quality of the carving. I like Pfeil and flex - cut chisels. Can't go wrong with those. Stubai are most expensive and worth every penny but for a beginner I would not recommend it unless money is not an problem. Get 2 -3 chisels for starters a good mallet a strop and strop abrasive and go make some wood chips!!!!! |

I'm not a fan of Mr. Butz I found his books to leave a lot of steps out
for a beginner carver. I tried one or two of his books when I started to carve . His books look like step by step but found them missing several steps here and there. But that's just my experience which I'm passing onto another beginner. |
