Is there anywhere I can learn to carve ?
Happycarver replied to RTS1's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
am 100% self taught, just keep carving, anything and everything, u can only get better, there are a lot of folk taking up carving these days so the better your work is the more it will stand out to folk that want to buy a piece -
love the frog carving
-
yeah go to b&q and get the range of cutters they have, i use them for doin eyes and stuff all the time, a die grinder is a lot bigger but a real usefull tool to have to
-
i use veg oil, but only on my carving bar chainsaws, it doesnt go black and stain the carving, for the bigger saws i only use oregon chain oil, your petrol shud run out before your oil does, remember that

never be afraid to carve how u want to, we all have moments where we stop an think, "shud i cut that bit or not", just go for it, its only wood, if ye **** up make it intae firewood, an start again, ur owl is good, keep up the good work -
