Im new here. Im wanting to start carving, I have some basic knives and tools. I have the latest issue of woodcarving illustrated. Im ready to start learning. I would like to do caricature carving, woodspirits, and add things along the way.

Thanks, Forrest Skidmore

Well Forrest, If you have a carving glove and some wood, then sounds like you have almost everything you need to get started.
