Here are two great beginner woodcarving sets. Choose between a set with a regular handle or one with a palm grip type handle. Both sets contain the same blade configurations two chisels, two gouges, a skew and a V tool. If you want to do some occasional carving or want to try out carving for the first time, either of these sets will be perfect. Overall length is about six inches on the regular handled tool set and a bit shorter on the palm grip.
