If you want to add one more tool to the 5-Pc set, Bob recommends adding a Straight Carving Knife. This is the knife used for almost all chip carving projects and gives the carver a great tool for adding small details to relief carvings, making it a very handy tool to have and adds even more versatility for the beginner.

Another great set of tools for the beginner is the Narex 8-Pc Palm Chisel Set. These tools are small and designed for detail work.

They also have ergonomic mushroom shaped beechwood handles that fit comfortably in the palm of the hand and add great degree of control when you're deep in the tight spaces.

The set contains four gouges of different sizes, a 60° v-gouge, skew, straight chisel, and the extra special hollow-out chisel. The hollow-out chisel allows the carver to reach in and add exciting levels of detail when carving characters or adding undercut details which would be impossible to accomplish with a straight tool. This little guy can also be purchased separately if you already have a set of palm chisels.
