    How to get started? (In Canada, if that matters)

    Posted: 20 Feb 2021 08:55 AM PST

    HI EVeryone

    My dad and I are looking to get into carving. We live in SW ONtario, Canada (if that makes a difference). What is a good way to start out? What is a good resource : website, book, youtube channel etc, for us to check out? We are both homebound with covid, are there any zoom meetings or classes on carving? Is there a bare bones list of tools we should start out with?

    First carved basswood rose

    First carved basswood rose

    I recently took a serious interest in wood carving again, so I decided to try carving a rose as a Valentine's Day gift. Since I'm still new, I decided to use basswood and left things a bit chunky since it's softer wood. I may or may not have broken two others lol. It was finished it with 2 coats of Dark Walnut Danish Oil and 3 coats of Polyurethane, I'm so happy with how it turned out! Any tips or recommendations are welcome for the next one :)

    Painting Balsa Wood Sculptures?

    Posted: 19 Feb 2021 02:05 PM PST

    Hello! Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit to be asking about this (please guide me elsewhere if so!).

    I've toyed with trying to make balsa wood sculptures before, however I've left them unpainted, due to googling the matter of painting them coming up with lots of different results, with them also mainly being about how to handle that of plane models with concerns about weight, look of wood grain etc, leaving me feeling lost.

    I'd like to venture into painting future sculptures, not minding the change of weight and such as these would be random decoration sculptures with fairly dynamic shapes - think muffins, teacups, etc, but I'm very unclear as to the steps I need to take. Given balsa wood is not water-proof, I'm told you need to take steps such as sealing it and repeated levels of sanding before and after etc? But I'm not very assured on any of it.

    I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice and could steer me on any clear path as to how to go about it? Coming from the UK if there are any brands and such to recommend in relation to anything about sealing or painting!

    Thanks in advance!

    How do y'all begin a project? Sawing the front/side view first or directly from the square block?
