Advice for a rookie carver
Hello All,
I havent yet even so much as picked up a carving tool or a carving block. I'm in the process of reading what my local library offers on the subject of carving. My goal is some small architectural carving. Designs in wooden table legs and/or aprons. Corbels for moldings and fireplace surround. I'm also fascinated by wood spirits, green men, etc. and would like to try my hand at that one day. I've enrolled in a 3 session course for beginning carvers at a local carving school and am looking forward to my first class in the middle of September. I do woodworking as a hobby for about 3 years now and am capable of making tables, chairs, jewelry boxes, outdoor furniture among others. My questions: 1) Suggested reading for a beginning carver? 2) Beginners carving tools? 3) Resources for carving tools and sharpening equipment. Thanks for any tips or pointers you may provide. TomL |
