A question for all

[cessna182]

If you had to name the 5 most important things a newbie
to wood carving needed to learn/know what would they be?
If you have more than 5 ,please list them.
This would be for carving decoys, birds, small items, not
the use of a chainsaw.

.. and as a follow up, does anyone use decoys in Oz, let alone carve them??

P(the curious)
:cool:

Mate, I would have to say the following:

Sharp tools,
Good imagination,
Big ole tin of elbow grease,
Properly designed templates,
Patience,
Practicality of project and
Good sense of humour (in case things go wrong).

Cheers
