Wood Carve
How can i start wood carving?

I really want to get into carving things out of wood, but I have no where to start! I don't want to do anything fancy or big just like a small sculpture or something. Are there any specific tools or anything that I should use or should I just get like a carving knife and some wood from a craft store? Any advice would help! Thanks! :o )

ummm.. no
do NOT go to the craft store unless money is not a issue for you!
go to the hardware store and get a scrap piece of white pine and a hand saw, you want to watch the grain of the wood, cut off a piece of the wood about the size of a dollar bill that has no knot holes, then find a picture of a subject (person, building, animal) that would fit on the biggest face of the wood, trace the picture using tracing paper, then put the paper on the wood and coppy the tracing to the wood, a moderate amount of pressure applied over the paper will transfer the pattern to the surface, then you can start carving. any small sharp knife with a fine point will do, keep your fingers out of the way, and remember a dull blade is dangerous, you are more likly to slip with a dull blade and on the ocashion that you do cut yourself, it takes a lot longer for a cut with a dull blade to heal.
start following the pattern with your knife, to remove the wood you want to cut away, make two cuts, your first at a 45 degree angle, and the second at the same angle reversed, so youve cut a trough. let your imagination guide you till youve decide your project is ready for sanding, then use a fine grit sand paper to finish and smoth out the edges.

Thanks for looking at our Wood Carve information.
