I bought my kids a kelvar glove to start their carving off.
my daughter is already complaining about having to use a vice.
but tough titty, they can learn some control first, and be creative later ( with all their fingers intact)

Aww come on mates, tis battle scars we be after is it not? It's part of the whole woodcarving experience.
I would have to agree with funkychicken that chisels are the most dangerous, more so than knives.
My first bad cut, laid my finger open from one end to the other with a chisel, I was about 11 or 12 at the time probably, its my only scar that hasn't faded away even though its been over a decade since it happened. My scars usually fade pretty much totally away after a year or two, this one cut to the bone though, bleed like none other, it is fading away on the ends where it wasn't as deep however, and over time I suspect it too will disappear to only a memory.
Feathering from working on the fish, happens when you work in close proximity of your thumb pulling the knife towards said thumb. I pretty much always have these as I always pull towards my thumb. They're harmless though. Grease is from an emergency repair on the car, had to plumb in a new alt ground on the fly, thank goodness for swiss army knives.
Just think of how all these cuts improve your first aid and bandaging skills. There's all kinds of benefits from being a woodcarver.Wood. Such a wonderful substance.
