Carving Educational Materials

[GCheatham]

Good afternoon,

I'd like to get started in learning to carve in my spare time. Could anyone recommend and instructional materials online or video that are good for a complete novice.

Also should I consider purchasing an inexpensive stock to practice on?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Glen

Jack Brooks has a good DVD.  If you are wanting to learn about carving the American Longrifle,  I'd suggest RCA vol. 1 & 2.  to study original work.

Carving the American long rifle video by Wallace Gusler available through American Pioneer Video

I don't know if it's still available, but Gary Brumfield used to have information on his website. It might be worth a search... and it's free.

Here’s the link to Gary’s PowerPoint on carving.

Maybe this will help.

In my very amateur opinion, any book you obtain will be of great help in your endeavors. Watching video's by good experienced people is always a plus. I don't think you can "over study" for this type of work.

I teach a class two times a year through the NMLRA.

Is it best just to keep an eye on their website for dates.

Also saw you are in Iowa. We spend time every year visiting friends down in Ft Madison. Beautiful state
