• My latest spoon, from Platanus with love :)
• First axe carving attempt (2019)
• Little dog I made from a peice of scrap walnut
• Bonehead
• just a friendly reminder that sheaths are not meant to protect you, its meant to protect the blade.
• Little dude outta basswood and acrylics
• For those that asked for progress on C2. Really enjoying this. So many complex curves.
• Bevels and handedness

just a friendly reminder that sheaths are not meant to protect you, its meant to protect the blade. Posted: 18 Feb 2021 05:09 AM PST I forgot this for 4 seconds while unpackaging a new knife today. you can imagine what the outcome was. submitted by /u/imthatguynamedwolf [link] [comments]

Bevels and handedness Posted: 17 Feb 2021 01:53 PM PST Hey everyone, beginner woodblock printmaker here. I have a question about which side the bevel of the carving knife should be on when carving relief prints. I have the 7-piece set of Mikisyo Power Grip tools, which includes a knife marketed for right-handed users. When held in the right hand and drawn toward the carver, this knife has the bevel facing out to the right, which, when I'm carving lines with it, puts the bevel facing toward the wood that will be kept and away from what will be discarded. My issue with this comes in a piece of instruction written by Dave Bull at Mokuhankan in Tokyo. He says that the bevel of your knife should face away from what will be kept, and makes the analogy of half of a ship traveling through water - the side that is angled will compress the water and push it aside, while the water on the flat side will be relatively undisturbed. As a result, Dave says that he uses a carving knife marketed for his non-dominant hand. Does this disparity come from different techniques of carving for prints? i.e., the lines of Japanese prints are typically made to stand up in relief, but the way knives are marketed for handedness matches more the method where the carved recesses in the wood create the features of the design. I hope this made sense and thanks for your help! submitted by /u/SapphireNine [link] [comments]
