Seeking Starter Advice

Hello woodcarvers of reddit!
I recently decided to get into woodcarving/detailing and have been looking into getting my first toolset. I figured it would be a wise idea to ask veteran carvers for their advice on tool brands, wood types, and where to buy before I started throwing money around.
That being said...
Where should I be looking for tools and wood? So far I've been looking at stuff on Amazon, but I'm unsure if buying from there is wise.
Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Australian Carvers

Posted: 11 May 2021 09:00 PM PDT

Just wondering if there are any Australians carving - and if so, what kinds of wood do you use? I am wondering if there are suitable native tree species for spoon carving. I am surrounded by many acacia, banksia, angophora costata, ceratopetalum + various eucalyptus spp as well as invasives like privet and lantana.

If you're not using locally available timber - where does one source the classic temperate deciduous trees our European friends are carving with?

Where do I get good wood?

Posted: 11 May 2021 12:21 PM PDT

Just got my first carving set in the mail today, wondering where you guys get good carving wood from, my first thought when I think wood is Lowe's/Home Depot, but I feel like they won't really have what I want. Any suggestions?
