honing woodcarving knives

Wanted to share with you important part of woodcarving which is honing your knives & tools. I put this video together, feel free to ask quesions.

Quick review of the tools I use

I've uploaded another video it was intended to check out the upload process and video quality. I had done a quick review of the tools I use. If you can't see the movie yet its because I've just uploaded it. Come back Tomorrow.

Little Gnome

Had some free time last night between 1am and 3am so I carved a Gnome from a 1"x1"x4". I had used JON NELSON's "Tweed" as a "study aid", however, next time I will try using the corner for the nose rather than one of the sides because I had to work my way back into the wood for the nose and cheeks.

Some of my Caricature Wood Carvings

I've uploaded a new movie, It is the first one. I was mostly inspired to do this blog by Gene (whittler0507) as he is very pationate about sharing & teaching woodcarving. I will try to do so too. Feel free to post comments & feedback. Do visit often as I will be adding new stuff whenever I get a chance.
