Default What tools and projects for beginners?
I have been asked by our local art club to teach a basic carving/creative whittling class. What tools and projects would you recommend for a beginner wood carving class for adults? The class will be two hours per day for 5 days for 8-10 students. I am inclined to build the cost of basic tools into the cost of the class but I am trying to keep the cost low. Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Default Re: What tools and projects for beginners?
If you are a whimsey carver, why don't you instruct with the tools you normally use? Other than that, might I suggest you contact Rick Ferry at www.littleshavers.com for his input. He has beginners kits, knives, patterns for beginners and tips on just about every aspect of "whittling".

Rick's tools all come razor sharp, and that is extremely important especialls for beginners.

Check his site or give him a call.
