    Hi, newbie carver/ first carve- two rough cut birds

    Hi,

    I finally did my first real carving the other day, just two very crude birds cut and carved out of soft construction timber with a Stanley blade and Thread Saw. features were burned on with a wood burning iron and stained Mahogany. Lots to learn and improve on but its a great feeling to finish a project. Have a Good Day

    Ring attempt #6 is a success! Up until this attempt the rings kept cracking when I tried to trim down the body as evident in the background. No idea what the wood is :D

    If you could only carve one type of item for the rest of your life what would it be and why?

    [Help] Hook knife losing edge almost instantly

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 03:39 PM PST

    So I bought this hook knife to do some spoon carving with. I carved a couple of smallish spoons with it out of poplar and mahogany (both hard-ish woods). I then tried carving a coffee scoop out of basswood, and after 3-4 cuts, the cuts become very difficult and the hook knife needs honing. I could feel the edge of the blade curling up. I wasn't doing anything crazy with it, and it happened whether I went with or against the grain. My straight blades cut through the wood with ease.

    I have no idea why this is happening. Is it my technique? I see videos on Youtube with people using similar or shallower knives and they cut like butter. What am I missing?
