Hello folks,

I'm starting 18th century carving classes (period woodworking too) at my shop in Camden, Maine this Spring and am in need of "student sets" of carving tools.
If anyone has some quality carving tools (Swiss Made, for example), I'm in great need.  Thanks.

If anyone's interested:
Teachers include Alf Sharp, Alexander Grabovestskiy, Ray Journigan, and others of like caliber.  Beginner to advanced classes are offered.
Other than the strictly classical carving and lettering classes, there will be project classes that involve a lot of carving:  The John Elliot Stool, a Traditional Sconce with shells and gooseneck molding, etc.
Alf Sharp will teach how to carve everything for a Chippendale highboy!
Hand tool guru, Graham Blackburn will teach a traditional chest class entirely with hand tools.
Matt Kenny will guide students through the making of a classic tea chest.
Make your period style house sign or quarterboard with Peter McKenna who runs the Nautical Arts Workshop in CT.
 

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
