Wood Carving set for a beginner?
I am very new to woodworking, and after a few finished projects (simple stuff, nothing too complicated) I figured i would start some woodcarving.
Been looking at some sets online, and after visiting Michaels (a local hobby/craft store) I noticed they have a couple of sets: one being the X-acto woodcarving set and another set by Revell. But after reading reviews on both, i don't think i should buy either.
Then i did some more research, and i found a set by Stanley and Irwin. 4 chisels, pretty good reviews. But i also read that they require sharpening? when i thought they could be used right away.
So, for those experienced carvers out there, which set is best suited for a beginner? As in never carved before.
Thank you.
