I would really advise you to try looking on eBay. I've seen lots of drawknives and some were even just a a few bucks. If you're able to sharpen a blade, (which you should learn anyway and this would be a perfect opportunity to learn), you might be able to pick up an old but fantastic quality tool that...

Flexcut. You just need to strop them to clean the micro wood fibers off the cutting edge. Unless you damage the cutting edge, that's all you need to do. If you damage the tool, just start with 400 grit wet n dry paper and work your way back to 2000 grit--400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000.

Wow! That's going to be some carving. Yes drawing can be a pain. I've been doing it every day for the last 42 years. Except now it's on a computer. Grumble grumble...gimme back my pencils and t-square.

Not sure if you have a Kinko's, Staples or any engineering reproduction place near you...
