Wife has expressed interest in taking up wood carving. Me being a turner, I have no idea about what is quality or not. What am I looking for in a quality starter set (not top of the line, but a good BEGINNER set)? Are there good package deals, or do I need to get individual tools? What is a decent brand? What constitutes good carving tools? Type of steel, length of handles? Any and all help would be appreciated.
Oh, my wife has barely held screw drivers in her hand. She is not an accomplished wood worker. She is a newbie when it comes to wood. But hey if it gets her out into the garage with me.
