Hey, so I know this is INCREDIBLY random but this year for Christmas I wanted to carve something by hand for my grandpa. The only issue is I have never done this with wood-I've only messed with stone which was MUCH easier than this. I want this gift to be extra special but I'm failing epically at getting the basic shape of a heart cut out of my basswood.
Any tips? Also, I keep accidentally stabbing my fingers even when I don't point the tools towards me. I'm using Basswood by the way since it's a softwood. But I'm really struggling here and I want this to be special-It'll be our first Christmas without grandma and I want him to know it won't be awful without her.
I've tried finding shit online to help but NONE of them are using the tools I'm using so it isn't really useful.
