sharpening the tools is probably the hard part.

I would suggest a paper wheel for a bench grinder and some lapping compound to really get a fine edge quickly.

Hammer and chisel is all you need, if you can't make it with that, you'll never make it kid

It's for going to hashbash and freaking out all the pot heads.
Or cosplaying as a whizard at the virgin festival.

Basswood and balsa are also good for beginners; they carve like butter.

Stinnett Sticks would beg to differ.

HE IS THE MAN. When it comes to decorative walking sticks...

You fags could only hope to have half the carving talent.

>also not having your own wizard staff.

Bet you fags use wands.
