I would like a copy of that Palm Gouge chart. "Doc"

if you stand away a bit and squint your eyes, it kinda looks like a cowboy.

Now would soak wood s work for me I ask myself. I try carving a dog and it looks like a goat. I carve a goat and it looks like.. a goat.

I would not want all the tools, would you be interested in selling the knives and the woodcraft gouge? Please let me know.
thanks

Ed,
I read your post about an agonizing day chip carving and a backache. You gotta be doing something wrong. IMHO
Chipping is probably the most relaxing form of carving and the only thing that should get sore is your wrist or eyesight.
You need to sit with a chip carver for a few hours or watch a video. Try this sight- My Chip Carving. Its the next best thing to one on one lessons. Relax, keep your blade sharp, elbow in, and most important enjoy yourself. Hope this helps.
