Members carver Posted November 17, 2014 Members Report Posted November 17, 2014 if you are just getting started you cant beat the al stohlman books carried by tandy . they are inexpensive and well illustrated. I would recommend the titles- how to carve leather and leathercraft tools the carving leather is pretty basic but it explains it pretty well.It shows you some patterns and what tools to use to achieve the effect and and the tool one shows picture of the tools and how to maintain them and how to make a few such as a strop and awls. . the books might keep you from buying some tools you don't need to get started . its where I started 50 some years ago in cub scouts now I do it for a living. THe BEST tool you will have is your imagination . I see some people come up with some pretty cool techniques that they dreamed up. BUT you need the basics first GOOD LUCK Quote
