Do you know what you think you might want to carve? Look for a carving club in your area, go to woodcarving shows, buy books,CD's, hang around this forum...etc...
See if anyone is offering classes in your town, that would be a great way to start.

This is a great place to start. I am also a scoller and find that carving adds to my ability.
