Get a hook knife set and a kevlar glove to protect your hand.
Do a search for threads discussing the hook knife. Benzart knows just what to get so my advice is to read his advice. Many of us are now using these sets especially the folks who attended the carving seminars. You can also get a table top version of the Black & Decker Work-Mate if you don't think you want to hold the wood. Either way, be careful and post some photos of your work.
