Good stuff. I love carving small and the variety of tools is endless. I started by using an Xacto and still use it quite a bit. Hook blades, palm chisels, Dremel - they're all part of the arsenal and used accordingly. One suggestion - get away from using Basswood. You will find that once you start using other wood species that the basswood has its limitations. Florida has so many native species that are great for carving. Keep 'em coming. |
