You may recognize the flower from his pages. Mark, these are Pfeils. I bought them individually with the flower project in mind and some basic relief work. I think it will serve me well for a while without needing any more sizes. Kari,

Nice work on the carving. I too have done a little and would like to introduce more into my furniture pieces. It's a very rewarding process when you complete one and I think it can set a piece of furniture apart if done at the right level. What set of chisels did you get? They look very complete...Pfeils? --Mark <a href="http://thecraftsmanspath.com" rel="nofollow">The Craftsman's Path</a> Hey Shannon,

Nice work on the carving. I too have done a little and would like to introduce more into my furniture pieces. It’s a very rewarding process when you complete one and I think it can set a piece of furniture apart if done at the right level.

Looks like you had a lot of fun. I'm with you on the chip carving--harder than it looks. I'm also new to relief carving and you're right about it being addictive. I was so engrossed with my first attempt, 6 hours flew by before I knew it. I referred to a book called "How to Carve Wood", by Richard Butz, which I recommend. His lettercarving technique is different than mine, but I like his relief carving very well. It's a great book for beginners. Nice job, Shannon! Looks like you had a lot of fun.
