Default Hello, From Yet another New Carver

Hello all...I am new to carving. I began learning to work with wood (building, repairing and refinishing furniture) years ago with my father in his shop but have recently found a desire to carve. I have carved a few "whimseys" with my pocket knife, but nothing serious as if yet. I have purchased a few carving knives, gouges, and tools, but I am still trying to figure out which style to work with. I look forward to talking with others and getting ideas and chewing some wood chips...

Rusty

Welcome Rusty! This is the place to be, especially when starting out . The help you can receive here is priceless. Some will say it's worth just about what you have to pay for it. But those of us who were new a short while ago know better.

Welcome Rusty,
To get the most out of this site, learn how to navigate among the forums and thru the Carver Galleries. When you see something of interest (topic or photo) do a search on the topic or look thru the photos of that carver. Most of all, don't hesitate to ask questions.
