Glad to hear the vice works. Love the curve in your trout’s body. I’ve been wondering if you’d started. Looking good!
Look forward to seeing your progress.

Hi Ed, I wanted to let you know I've been using the vice and have gotten started on my trout carving. The vice works great. I clamped it to my workbench out in the shed, it was too high for me in the funky bench vise I have. Here's a couple of photos of my progress so far... its going slow.

I know there are a lot of carvers in the area I’ve bought several used tool on eBay from sellers in the Bay Area. Sheri Tharp does classes in Berkeley I’d think would have a line on local groups. There is a Woodcraft store there and they can often give info on local clubs.

Nicely done, cute owl.

I’m like Steev, Carving Jack and a re-profiled pocket knife with dual lockback blades. But what ever you choose to meet your carving needs while in the USA. I’ve never had an issue with what’s inside my checked luggage. Not sure if your schedule will allow but I like to carve with local groups...

That’s some beautiful carving young man!

I do think it would help to know what you have in mind. I like basswood, aspen and African mahogany.

So?
Something like this?

Ale,

Heinecke or Loess Hills Sawmill.

You've selected an ecliptic group of products online. I wonder what type of projects you’ve done or plan to do. Could help us make wood suggestion. Also most wood is just dried, treated wood is the exception not the norm. ...

Steve,

There are probably folks here who can better answer your question. I’m thinking this is an accountant question, and guessing it depends on the amount of revenue you anticipate from your sales. I’d suspect an accountant can tell at what dollar amount it’s a business not a hobby.

Caged balls are always fun. Nice work!

Nice fisherman. Wondering is that pine?

Larry did good, beautiful wood.

Got to love those crazy ears.

Andi,

My daughter thinks I should travel the world because she likes that. I can’t understand why she doesn’t go fly fishing. We all should do what makes us happy. So power up and make yourself happy.

Yes to the sandpaper! No to the wet. Especially when I’m traveling so much lighter than my wet stones. In fact if I need to really rework or re-profile a tool, I start with 80 grit paper to avoid making grooves in my course stone. After 600 - 800 I hit the strop.

Cute idea, the things we do for fun....
