There is woodcarving and there is whittling as the old-timers call it, the latter of which is the oldest of the two forms. The three main things required to begin carving are 1. Either a whittling knife or a six piece basic carving set, 2. A soft wood, and 3. Imagination and desire. As you progress in talent you may graduate up to chainsaws and hardwoods but for today we will stick with the basics. The basic six piece carving set consist of the following tools: A straight gouger, straight veiner, straight chisel, bent v-tool, straight skew, and a bent chisel. These tools come in dissimilar handle shapes so it is up to you to determine which type feels more comfortable in your hand. Most sets may be purchased for underneath $50.00. There are four basic types of woodcarving you may do and each type may require dissimilar tools for the job. As stated earlier whittling is the oldest of these and requires not one thing more than a carving knife. Then, there is Carving in the Round, Relief Carving, and Chip Carving. For hand carvers the best wood selections are Basswood, Pine, and Cottonwood. If you choose wood that is either to soft or to hard you will not be capable to achieve the desired results. Once you have the rectify tools and wood in hand the rest is up to you. Woodcarving is a wondrously inexpensive sideline that allows the artisan to escape pressures we all face and let the difficulties of the day float to the floor along with the shavings.
