As a traditionally trained wood carver, working under the guidance of Michael Painter, I often find people asking me the same key questions at various shows and demonstrations I have attended whislt I have been working on a piece of carved work.
Originally, this booklet was concieved to be handed out to my full day carving courses I ran back in 2018, but with the above in mind, I decided to make it more generalised so anyone thinking about starting carving could have a basic guide to follow, covering: chisel terminology and types; chisel selection; sharpening with both a powered sharpener and by hand using a diamond whetstone; using a carver's mallet; and making cuts in timber.
