 Where to start, newbie wanabee a carver I would like to carve corbels for fireplaces. Have no tools or books on subject, wondering what to buy to get started. I can't draw , no artistic talents so patterns will be the way to go.   |

 Re: Where to start, newbie wanabee a carver You might look at this book: http://www.amazon.com/o/redirect?%5F...tellafriend-20 Note that in the recommended "buy these together", the second one is a book of patterns.

| Re: Where to start, newbie wanabee a carver ^ that book and a few more can also be found here: http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/s...p=1&FullCat=31 Also, it may do some good to look at other "Beginner" posts to get an idea on Safety, tools, etc. When searching, a good tip is to look at the bottom of the page for a listing of similar threads (discussions). Usually, if the original title is clear, the site will pull up similar topics. |

| Re: Where to start, newbie wanabee a carver A bit of difference in price, though (ouch!). I absolutely agree about the safety issue also. I am not that good at carving yet and would be hesitant to pick a project that required exact duplication until I had more. Just something to think about.
