| | Re: new to carving Welcome,
You'll find that you can post questions here and get lots of different but good answers. There's quite a few publications on how to carve wood spirits and walking sticks if you're looking at buying something that you have use over and over to help you improve your carving skills. Just click on the link to New Carving books on the right side of this screen to check out some of them.
