I’m new to carving. I spent a lot of time researching what chisels I would need. I found the Master Carver catalog online [https://www.woodcarverssupply.com]. Very accessible and good clear information to help me pick the chisels I thought I would need. I bought three chisels to start: #5-8mm; #7-10mm; & #7-25mm. Each chisel is of amazing quality, very comfortable, and very sharp and worked very well. I was able to create my first spoon out of oak. It went very well because of these tools. Great quality and great price. They have worked equally well by hand and with a mallet. A plus is their customer service which I used after making a second purchase of more chisels that I needed. I called and was amazed at how informative Timothy was which helped me understand the chisel categories. He even suggested some chisels to round out my collection so I made my third purchase. Three things to remember good quality, good price and real quality customer service. Five stars-I highly recommend them.
After some discussion with Timothy, he talked me into trying out Mastercarver Gouges. I must say that I am very impressed and satisfied, especially when I can get two or three for the price of one Pfeil or Auriou. Not all great chisels come from Europe…
