A little coffee scoop I just finished. Carving is what keeps me sane whilst being stuck at home in yet another lockdown!

I'm staring out carving little finger rings, and I'm looking to have as much as I can that'll let my carving be precise, since I'm already not the most attuned person to this hobby

Gouge advice

Posted: 21 Feb 2021 09:43 AM PST

Hey guys, I'm new to carving but am really excited to start doing reliefs. I just purchased my first set but I was wondering what you all thought. I did a lot of research and determined that Schaaf was a decent quality product for a fair price so I bought this set of 12 gouges. However I was thinking about returning them and purchasing this set of fishtail gouges instead. The only thing about the fishtail set is that I would have to by a #12 v-chisel separately. I was hoping you guys would be able to give me some insight? Thanks!
