M. Chisels and
Mallets: For some of the larger projects, please bring your chisels
or mallets in addition to the items listed in L. This includes the
Amish Man, Golfer 1, and Pirate.
Concerning the knives needed, the
descriptions below are those that I would like to see used, but in
no way are absolutely necessary to complete the projects. Many of my
students have used closed approximations that work just as well. I
prefer to use the palm type gouge, but longer handle gouges are
acceptable. Gouges may be of the bent, straight, spoon, or fishtail
variety. I will have these available for sale during the class for
any students who desire to purchase them. The knives come
pre-sharpened (except for the Murphy knives.)

projects.

eggs purchased.
