Carving tips
It's one of the simplest tools to carve from a straight stick or board, and a perfect project for beginners. Some carvers add a thistle or a knob at the end of the handle.
Cut out the top view and trace it on the blank with the grain running along the tool, as the grain arrow shows. Saw the outline, then draw the side view on the side of the blank for the thickness and angle, and carve away everything outside the lines. Read more in How it works.
