10 yr old boy wants to learn woodcarving from anyone who can instruct

Dec 09, 2006 4 Replies

He's pretty handy with knife. Has caught rabbits, skinned them, gave to Mother to cook. She threw the skinned rabbits out and suggested he do something else with his boyscout hunting knife.



Hence, the sudden woodcarving interest.



Is their a "How to woodcarve" on the web ? He has a DELL PC in his room ..ready to go....family uses WEBTV+ receiver.



Suggestions most appreciated ! 120806


Thank you Michael. The web is marvelous isn' it ? Have fwd your response to young man who's off boarding on Sat. He will be delighted.

Will mail you his pic with the beautiful little 14" rowboat-with-oars he carved from scratch at home in SF. He's given up on skinned rabbits.

Again.....we thank YOU ! snipped-for-privacy@webtv.net 1120806

Google is is friend. So is the local branch library.

Suggest that while he's searching on Google that it might not be a bad idea to search for info on how to safely prepare rabbits.

Suggest to mom that /she/ learn a bit about preparing game starting RSN. Sometime in the next eight years she's likely to be roasting venison - or supervising him while he does the work...

Take a look at "rec.crafts.carving". Their activity is running low now but you can still find some good links and other info.
