I am looking into some more tools for carving. What brand and sizes are you using for the wood spirits or walking stick sized faces? I bought a set of Ramelsons and really don't like them. I have some H/T Acorn larger sizes but on walking sticks it is awkward handling. I feel like I am hunting squirrels with a howitzer.
Do the eye punches work? or just a good sounding idea?
I have never been able to do the elegant fine detail cuts that I see in work like some of you have posted. Is it the tools or the wood? I have been practicing in basswood.
Any tips is appreciated.
