I'd pick satin though, for whipeoffability, (I just invented that word...).

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I found a supplier that has a woods list. Wow.
I thought that I had an original idea. Turns out that it's been done. I've wanted to do it for so long I think...

Maybe this is a stupid question? Sorry, I'm a complete noob. It's just that I've discovered that there are about a bazillion types of wood...

I'm not even a carver yet, but this project has been a...

Hey all. I have an idea for a project that is carved in the round. The wood would need to take a fair amount of detail and be rather sturdy as it may be handled often.

It wouldn't need to have any...

Looking real good there, and I don't see any blood stains! Looks as though you're at the kitchen table. Gotta love a wife who understands!;)

Looking forward to seeing more.:D

So, those are called "capitals". Got it! :o

They are beautiful.

Pfiel. It's Pfiels or nothing! If you don"t use the Pfiels, why bother?

Just joking. I haven't got a clue! I just wanted to sound like one of those guys...

I'd go with the one that fit's me...

The coffee cup "trick" reminds me of another that has come in handy over the years on my pocket knife.

When you're out and about, and need a quick sharpen, roll your vehicles window almost all...

Not too shabby! There's nothing like a scary sharp blade. A joy to use, whatever the job at hand.

I've always loved to sharpen. I have no idea where the enjoyment came from, but even in my teens,...

I've never sold signage, but in other works that I've done, the X3 rule works.

Example: Materials cost $25.00. I now know that my goal is to keep labor costs at or below $25.00, which brings us...

Hey all. I don't have the money to buy a band saw, drill press, filter system, (you all know how long this list can be...) ect. So I have no option BUT to aquire as desperately needed. I think that...

Ha ha.

"Reminds me of my old Regimental Commander who used to say: "There's a bloody place for every bloody thing, and every bloody thing had damned well be in it's bloody place!" He was a short...

Brian, I have the very same problem that you are experiencing. I have so many "hobbies" that I'm surrounded by nice junk.

We have three sheds in the back yard. One is where my wife keeps house...

I had a problem when I was sixteen years old with some bully types. Their whole family was hard core into the Packers. To this day I loath the Packers. I know it's a mental thing, but no matter...

Oh mylanta. I never knew there were so many tools for working with wood!

I'm going to need a barn...

First I'll need to buy some land. HONEY..........! ;)

Ha ha, I don"t suppose those pork chops had anything to do with it? LOL

I own an old Yamaha acoustic, as well as four or five "you can play the guitar!" books, chord charts ect.

I've tried...

Spectacular. :eek:

I'd love to just sit in the corner and watch you create.

If that isn't "art", then what is?

Bravo.

Thanks for saying hi guys. I will for sure get the glove and finger guards, as well as a first aid kit to keep close at hand, (funny little pun there). Although I have no skills as of yet, I don't...

Just want to say hello to everyone on the forum. Forty-seven year old father of four here.

I can't say what exactly made me want to start carving wood, but I am looking forward to trying my hand...

Hello there. I'm new to the forum and even newer to carving. I read voraciously and have now read my umpteenth carving book. I have yet to carve a single thing. My wife just bought me a set, (I know,...

I like the angle of the horse's head. It adds an "action" to the piece. I've seen this pose in a lot of horses that were prancing and playing around. Looks real nice.:)

Nicely done! It's a pleasure to find wood and have it say something to you.
