It appears my attachment was too large to be posted, so I have reformatted.
My origal message is repeated below.
If anyone could please give me some assistance it would be appreciated.
I am going about making my wife a jewellery box from Brazillian Mahogoney and want to carve the lid as per the attachment. I have no experience in carving, no tools and not an artistic bone in my body. Am I being over ambitious?
What do I do about learning how to carve and where should I go to get some good quality tools in Adelaide? I want to make this an extra special gift for our wedding aniversary, but I'd also like to take the art up as an interest.
Cheers
TIM
