A large number of examples will be provided by the instructor for inspiration and discussion purposes. Painting and finishing techniques will be covered.

Carving gloves and a quality, entry level, flat plane carving knife can be purchased from TreelineUSA.com or Mountainwoodcarvers.com . I would recommend Flexcut or OCC brands with a 1-½” to 1-¾” blade. Don't go smaller than 1-½”. If you decide you don't like carving, I will happily buy the knife from you!
