Woodcarving by Numbers, 12pc Chisel Set with Instructional DVD

Whether you're an experienced carver, or are just looking to get started, this set of 12 carving tools will serve you well, at a great price. Not only are they quality tools with a wide range of profiles that are sharp out of the box, but they are also designed to work in harmony with the ''carving by numbers'' system originated by renowned woodcarver and educator Mike Davies. The included booklet and DVD from Davies will get you started. If you're already an accomplished carver, you'll appreciate the way the spring alloy steel holds a sharp edge and resists corrosion. The handles are solid beech in a comfortably contoured shape, and are full-length, meaning they are suitable for both hand and mallet work. A substantial tang secures the chisel blade into the handle, and is locked in place by a ferrule that helps prevent splitting.
