| | Newbie in Titletown Afternoon everyone. Over the past summer's camping excursions with the family my youngest daughter came across a nice 5' piece of aspen that over the course of camping I carved into a nice little hiking stick just using my camp knife. Well when the kids asked what I would like for my birthday last week I told them how much I enjoyed making the stick & said I wouldn't mind a wood carving set.
So the kids went ahead and got me a gift card for one of the local wood working vendors, but after pricing some of the tools they carry there, I couldn't justify spending that type of money on a set.
So I came across this website, and last night I put in my order for the beginner set from "Little Shavers". I can't wait to get it & get started.
Looking forward to getting to know some of the people here & picking up any tips I can. |

| | Re: Newbie in Titletown Ah Yes! Fellow "Packer Backer". Welcome, I too am from WI, but now dwell in TX. I hope you enjoy woodcarving as much as I have. I do miss the abundance of woods available from up North! You should have an enjoyable hobby.

| | Re: Newbie in Titletown Welcome Fzntundra!
You made three great moves so far--took up wood carving, found this website, and bought Rick's starter set! You are well on your way to a fun filled time. Ask questions, and use a carving glove, and it'll be even better!
Enjoy! |
