if i were you i would look in the carving post as there is wealth of knowledge in the there. i started about 2 months ago and it has help so much. just start from the begining and read the posts.

Use the search feature and type in chisels, or carving tools and you will find more posts dealing with the subject. the search feature will be very helpful while on Tiki Central so learn to use it well. You can always ask questions to specific carvers or carvers in general and they will ussually have the answer.

I don't know about books on the suject other then just a wood carving books and i'm sure a major book store will have those.

the best way to learn is to make mistakes and figure out why it went bad. in other words the hardest think about carving is starting, so just jump in and chisel or chainsaw away.
