Default Hi everyone

Hi there I have just started in carving and am looking thru the site. What wonderful things have been carved.
I live near a beach so driftwood will be one of my mediums. I love anything to do with wood and working with it and the great and imaginative things that occur as a result of a few cuts here and there.
Glad to be aboard

John

Hello and welcome, John. You're fortunate to have a supply of wood to work with. Keep in mind that drift wood will have a lot of sand particles embedded in the cracks and grain. This will dull your tools edges very quickly and in some cases may even chip the edges.
