Wood carving Hello fellow carvers! I recently finished (I'm fairly certain) a tardigrade carving.

Hello fellow carvers! I recently finished (I'm fairly certain) a tardigrade carving.
Had an idea, executed it with some scrap Juniper. Considering doing a larger piece.
Update It took 6 hours of shaving but I've gotten the basic shape I want before making it fit in my hand easily. Been using a broadsword handle as the guide for a decent handle width. Going to draw that on and then start shaping to that. Thanks for the advice on different cuts they have helped a lot
I recently got into bird carving and just finished these two. No dermal and no wood burner..... yet

Ergonomic handles- are they worth it?

Tree that has been dead for at least 3 years, drying wood and safety

Posted: 09 Mar 2021 07:49 AM PST

A tree in my neighborhood that has been dead for at least three years was finally chopped down by city maintenance. I took some nice sturdy branches before they came and collected the parts, and I am wondering if I should let the wood dry out or if it is sufficiently dry because the tree was standing dead anyway. If yes, how long should I let it dry? Secondly, is it safe to make things like spoons or bowls from this wood, there isn't any clear mold or insect damage on it, but it is the only tree in the whole street that died for some reason and I don't know if I should assume something toxic happened.

I only took up this hobby last week, so it was a huge coincidence that I suddenly had a big amount of wood available to me a week later. I am a complete and utter beginner.

Kiridashi vs standard bench knife vs chip carving knife

What are the differences (excepting the obvious about blade face, ethnicity etc)? Which of these can do all the same cuts as the others? How are the cuts different from eachother? How is a kiridashi different from a skew chisel (aside from the handle)?
