Carving Tools

Wood carving tools have been found in cultures throughout the ages. They have been used to carve wood into functional objects, stunning pieces of art, or using a combination of the skill sets, beautiful and functional objects.

We are well stocked with a variety of tool styles, from traditional carving tools from Hirsch Tools, hand-forged in Germany since 1780; to modern Flexcut Tools, made of Spring Steel right here in the USA.

We sell fine chisels, gouges and knives for all levels of wood carvers. Selecting the best wood carving tool for the task can be confusing, so check out our beginner's guide to choosing carving tools. It provides a brief explanation of the most popular carving tool gouge and chisel types. If you are needing some guidance, a good book can teach almost any wood carving technique. We have books on them all; chip carving, relief carving, caricature carving, spoon carving, treen carving and whittling, so dig in!
