This book from internationally renowned woodcarving instructor Chris Pye will teach you fundamental lettercarving skills with which to artfully add words or text to an otherwise plain piece of wood.
For beginners,...

Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisels
Until recently we stocked the Narex 8116 range of bevel edge chisels which were popular amongst students and people starting out in woodworking.

I'm glad to say that this new premium range 8150 from Narex is a massive improvement upon the old chisels. Yes they are not...
