I am looking for some recomendations on a basic set of carving tools. I am building a spice box, and would like to carve my initial in the door of the box. I have never done any carving before and have no tools for carving.

In addition to carving my last initial in the door of the spice chest, I would also like to carve ball and claw feet at some point in the future. So, keeping this in mind, are there a few go to carving tools that are the basics for carving?

Thanks
Andy
