Well, I have always been interested in carving and I have a project. I am almost done with a bed I am making for my son, I do not want to cover the bed bolts with shiny metal. I was thinking a shell. So I have to make a shell, what do I need? I did buy this set from LV, not sure if that is sufficient for a 3" shell.
I understand the class option, here in Arkansas that is basically a non option. I do have an offer from Todd, up in Mountain Home, to visit his shop and he will get me going.
There's shells and then there's shells. If you've never carved before, I would recommend a simple shell something like the one in the picture (in mahogany). I've taught one day (6 hour) courses in how to carve this shell and the students seem to be able to accomplish it pretty well - but that's with hands on instruction.
You'd need a #12/6, a #2/5, a #2/20, and a #8/4 to carve it (all numbers in the Pfeil system).

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
