| Re: Excited about a new hobby Good luck with your new hobby. I love to carve but don't get to do it as much as I would like. I have only a few suggestions. Buy the best tools you can and remember that you don't really need all that many. If you can find one, an old stone for straight razors is a fine stone to have. I have three or four that I have picked up at antique stores. They work really well and usually cost less then $10.00. Follow this up with a leather strop and you can shave with your tools. Lastly have someone show you how the first time. It reduces frustation. Take care Dan |

| Re: Excited about a new hobby Welcome to the board. And to the world of carving. Don't rule out carving while watching your game on Sunday, I use a lap tray to carve when I watch TV. Little Shavers kits are great, and really sharp, so you will be up and running right out of the box. The board here is a great place to learn , so ask any questions you might have. Bob
