Members MorwinyonLin Posted May 21, 2013 Members Report Posted May 21, 2013 I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on which Barry King tools would make a nice starting set for Sheridan tooling. On his website the recommended size lists more than I can comfortably afford at the moment. I've already ordered a BK 16 Oz Round Maul and a BK 1/2 x 3/8 straight blade swivel knife, as well as a few other tools elsewhere. So now it looks like I should focus on (please correct me if I'm wrong) a beveler, pear shader, camouflage, veiner, seeder, and a background tool. Which sizes would be ideal? Quote
electrathon Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Full set of bevelers, then thumbprints. Quote
Chief31794 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Full set of bevelers, then thumbprints. X2, the bevelers are the most important, then the thumbprints, next would be camo and veiners for me, followed by seeder, etc. Chief Quote

Thanks for the replies, these forums have been an invaluable source of information. Quote
Chief31794 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 On Sheridan, I predominately use checkered, on figure carvings I use smooth a lot. Since your question was concerning Sheridan Style carving, I would suggest checkered. Chief Quote
