took carving class/have question

I recently took a power carving class aka carving with a dremel. The instructor used the little stone bits for woodcarving and I thought that stones were for metal. Shows how much I don't know. The instructor said the color of the stones was a guide of the courseness. Does anyone have a chart or...

New to carving. Three questions, plzzzz

In this picture, am I correct when I say that this type of carving is called "Raised relief"? 2- Is this type of detail, in general, the result of having a rather extensive selection of carving tools, or is it done with a few "basic" tools? 3- What wood would be a good medium to...

Sharpening carving tools - suggestions wanted

G'day All! I need some help choosing the 'best' all around system for sharpening carving gouges and knives, as well as the straight stuff - chisels and plane irons. Most of my 'unplugged' woodworking is in carving and I'm trying to increase my skills to a higher level. It is obvious to...

Basic carving set for cabinet pulls, handles etc

I have always liked the hand shaped pulls on Krenov's cabinets. I would like to carve handles for a small box top and probably a cabinet door/drawer in the future. Any suggested reading? Any recommendations on where to get started? Thanks! Salem

Latest version of my carving stand

I used to have the Panivise attached to a cast iron table pedstal with a small worktop on it. Over time, it didn't prove to be nearly as convenient as I hoped. I decided the conventional approach of only freely turning the carving and not the work top makes more sense. You need the big flat...

"Peas in a Pod"

These "peas" were turned from Ash and then treated using Behlen Solar-Lux Stain, clear lacquer, and Liming Wax. The "pod" was turned green from Basswood and then hollowed out with a Lancelot carving tool.

watched the fan carving episode on Woodwright

And despite having a bunch of unfinished projects going already, I decided to give it a try. That's from a little cypress board Robert (Sawduster) gave me a few days ago. That is one piece of wood, all still attached; nothing glued and no hardware. My splits are way too thick, but I got the...

started carving wet

I took the barley twist I started at my class with the Woodwright school and started carving a snake that has a marble trail in it: It is largely complete; a marble rolls down and stops and I have set in around the head, which I will do in shallow relief. It is poplar and it was freshly cut...
