Default Just starting

Well I just thought I would introduce myself, I have been in woodworking for a number of years but was scared of carving.
My wife helped me on a project the other day and she enjoyed using chisels so much that we decided to try some carving together.
After a little research I realized how much there is to learn so I decided that I had better join a carving forum and start learning.
There seems to be plenty of information and help here.
Look forward to getting to know you guys.
Rusty

Most of us on this site enjoy the feel, smell, texture and glow of wood as we work it with tools. There are, of course, many ways to do this. We hope you find help and satisfaction with this hobby.
