Thanks very much you guys!!
Robert, I'll be happy to try taking pics. of the main tools I use but at the very least I'll list a less expensive line of tools (both stock and modified) and my dream set of tools
Jim, that handle sticking out is another thread
Thank you for the critique Sandy! As far as the Sheridan style being too ornate or gaudy I thought it best to learn on a more intricate style first to help understand the different uses of each tool and help me understand which carving style direction I want to go. Your beautiful carved sheath that Mike gave me is the main reason I'm learning this stuff!!
Thanks again,
Dave
