I have never carved before. Where should I start?
The Teaspoon kit for beginners or the Spoon Carver's Essential Toolkit, plus Kevlar gloves. Start with a small teaspoon in soft wood such as Hinoki before moving on to larger spoons.
How is the saving applied?

How do I keep the tools sharp?
Strop often and touch up the edge with a fine stone. The EZ Care sharpening block is made for keeping carving tools keen between sharpenings.
Is carving safe for teenagers?
With supervision, Kevlar gloves and sharp tools, yes. Sharp tools are safer than blunt ones because they need less force.
