Schaaf Tools Foundation Wood Carving Set features the 12 essential wood carving tools you need to start any carving project, from an intricate relief panel to a life-sized bust, or from a house sign to a caricature figure. These hand-selected gouges and chisels allow beginners to get started carving, intermediate carvers to add to their collection, and professionals to have a backup set or a set to grind at a different bevel. This tool set accommodates everyone.

While it is possible to start carving with this factory-sharpened set immediately, the edges will cut better with a bit of finessing and polishing. Professional and intermediate carvers will jump right in, grind or stone the bevels to their favorite angle, polish the edges, and start carving. The factory set the bevel at the most useful angle for most carvers, so along with the complimentary eBook on sharpening, even beginners should be able to polish the edge and get carving right away. If you want to ship the sharpened set, see our Premium Sets.

Because we expect these to tools to be one of the first a beginner purchases, in the eBook we also include information on the best woods for carving, the pros and cons of different sharpening stones as well as the sharpening information we mentioned earlier. We’ve also put together a few videos for beginner carvers as well as a video on how to carve your first project with expert Joe Dillett.

Happy carving!


    All Tools come packaged in a Schaaf Tools canvas tool roll with protective plastic tips.
