re: Learning wood carving online

Hey Jim, have fun carving! It is a hoot! Chisels and knives give a great clean finish. Easy to sand too if wanted. Dremels, power carvers etc tend to shred the grain and create a lot of clean up work.. I tend to go from the chainsaw to chisels and then knives although I do use a grinder (super coarse flap sander or a chain disc) if the shapes dictate it’s use.
