Jack Richeson - Wood Carving Tool Set

Wood Carving Tool Set

Twelve steel-forged tools let students explore every carving technique

Steel forged gouges provide the edge retention beginners need without the premium price of professional-grade tools. Jack Richeson designs these carving tools specifically for students learning relief carving, chip carving, and dimensional form work. Each blade mounts securely into a 5-inch hardwood handle that's been sanded smooth for comfortable grip during extended carving sessions.

The 12-piece set covers essential profiles: straight chisels for clean cuts, gouges in varying sweeps for curved surfaces, and V-tools for incised lines and detail work. This range lets you explore different carving approaches without investing in specialized tools before you know which techniques you'll pursue. Forged steel construction means edges hold up through practice pieces and student projects while remaining responsive to sharpening as you develop proper tool maintenance skills.

Compact 5-inch handles suit smaller hands and provide the control new carvers need when learning proper cutting angles and pressure. The set arrives ready to use, though stropping edges before your first cuts will optimize performance. Basswood, butternut, and similar softer carving woods pair well with these tools as you build fundamental skills.
