Hi All,
Just getting into carving and I'd like to eventually make something similar to the image below. I only add this image in because I've read though several other posts and it is apparent the tools to buy are largely dependent on the type of carving you want to do. Got it.
I'd like to get into several areas of carving so I'm going to get the PFeil 7 tool set off Woodcraft but my specific question here is related to the finer detail work as you see in the image below. I know smaller tools will be necessary for this. I plan on getting a set of carving knives (set 1 & set 2) which are fairly inexpensive comparatively but I believe I'll need some small palm tools to create these details.
I'd like to stick with the pfeil brand but my issue is that Woodcraft has 4 different sets of these "6-piece palm carving tool sets" - A, B, C, and D. I'm hoping I can get some advice on here as to which set(s) would be worthwhile getting knowing the type of carving I'd like to accomplish from the image below.
Here are links to the 4 sets:
A - https://www.woodcraft.com/products/p...702d31fb000995
B - https://www.woodcraft.com/products/p...702d31fb000995
C - https://www.woodcraft.com/products/p...702d31fb000995
D - https://www.woodcraft.com/products/p...702d31fb000995
They also have a 12 piece set: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/pfeil-swiss-made-palm-handled-carving-tool-set-12-piece?via=573621f469702d06760016cd%2C5763288b69702 d20ec000b2e%2C5763293f69702d31fb000995
...and an 8 piece set: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/p...702d31fb000995
I know I have a lot to learn before I get here but this is what I'd like to work towards. Can someone suggest what might be best minimum to get or ideal for carving detail similar to this:
