Default A few questions for a newbie
Hey! I have to do a carving for part of my uni project and i do not know where to start. I have to get a branch from outside and carve a item using this branch. Any suggestions or tips?

Many thanks

Mark

Here's one thought for you...

(move your cursor down the gouges on the left side to see the steps in the carving.

If you prefer something smaller, try this one... (but on a small branch).

Agree with everything above, especially the glove! A thumbguard would be good too. Good luck and post some pics!
