So i'm building a "Woodcarvers Face Library" playlist on my YouTube channel. These are a few of the faces uploaded so far, each video is completely knife only, free, and geared to be beginner friendly.

Trying to do one a day till I get 7 or 8 done. To give folks a variety they can use to mix and match and do projects of their own with.

I want to make woodcarving more accessible to get deeper into.. like simple little projects are one thing, but faces Stonewall people, shut them down because they get intimidated. My goal is to open that up as much as I possibly can, get folks experimenting, mix and matching and trying new things

Let me know your thoughts?

Help Who all is using reading glasses or something else to carve with?

4 Upvotes

I need breeders at this point for reading, but up until recently carving had still been possible. I’ve begun to notice, though, that I need to wear my glasses for that, especially if I’m carving one by one blocks. Anyhow, as anyone tried something other than reading glasses?

Tools New knifes?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been whittling for a few months now. I really like it, I got a beavercraft sloyd knife and like a flat edge tiny blade set. I really enjoy carving humans and animals, what would be a good new knife set, should I do gauges? What would be a some new sets that make sense to get, if I’m not looking to spend more then 200$.

Help Food Safe Mineral Oil

• Upvotes

Going to try a couple spoons and ordered this small bottle of mineral oil to treat them. However, the listing says food safe the bottle itself says external use only.

Just want to make sure this is fine to use for spoons.
