By no means am I an expert, but I pretty much agree with Neil...
I started out with 3-4 hand me downs from my Dad and whenever I have a carving project I either "make-do" or go out and buy the profile that I need.
I really don't keep track of the sweeps and sizes like I could, and I have enough now that I usually can find one approximately the right size.
So get a couple of varied sweeps, (some 8's, 9's, etc. Not all 5's)start carving, and fill in as needed. Heck, it's always fun at Woodcraft to scare the guys up front to grab the carving chisels and feel the sharp edges...Cal |
