A complete guide to knife making, sharpening, and tool maintenance for woodcarvers.
Woodcarvers understand the feeling of satisfaction, ease, and higher quality of carving that comes from using a well sharpened, honed, and polished tool. (A sharp tool is safer to use than a dull one, after all.) In a process handed down from his grandfather, Jim Watson teaches sharpening techniques for numerous knives and other woodcarving tools in various sizes and profiles.
The book includes:
• Methods for reconditioning and making your own knives and tools for woodworking
• Information on resurfacing sharpening stones
• Tips on proper sharpening (kitchen knives and pocket knives included), plus the materials needed for the job
By following Jim's instructions and adding a little practice and patience, everyone will be able to achieve and maintain a superior edge, as keen as the piece of steel will allow.
