Dane L AUS Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hi All, I'm interested in starting to carve netsuke, however coming from a whittling/spoon carving background my tools are of a larger variety. Are there any recommendations from any other Aussies for sources of carving tools that are more suited for netsuke? I have picked up Robert Jubbs book and I am basing my starting tool selection on his recommendations, however brands like Dockyards are currently difficult to obtain either due to cost of freight or just delivery time frame. I have access to the Kirschen range of carving tools, but I wanted to check if their was other sources outside of the 2-3 major woodworking stores in Aus.

Janel Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello Dane, The difficulty in finding netsuke carving tools is not a unique one. Most folks do finally learn to make their own. The Carving Path forum pages are a repository of information that with persistence and patience can help guide the inquirer towards answering the questions that arise. You might find the forum to be a quiet place these days, though many people use the forum to gather information. Some may contribute from time to time, always a welcome event. Good wishes to you, Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
