How To Carve Wood?
Carving wood is like magic, turning simple blocks into unique art with just a knife and some patience! I always start with a sharp carving knife and my favorite, Basswood—it's forgiving and easy-peasy. Just think of the grain as your best friend; carving with it avoids splintering, making cuts smoother. Remember, keep those tools sharp—it’s key! Set up your wood in a vise to keep it still. As you progress from basic shapes, switch to smaller gouges for details; it’s like frosting a cake! Enjoy the process, embrace your mistakes (you’ll have plenty!), and let the wood guide you to your masterpiece. How To Carve Wood?
