What sort of carving are you planning to do? If its small stuff, spoons etc, then you probably are safe to just go ahead and carve green as the movement will be minimal. If you've got a bigger project in mind then splits and twists will be more of a problem as the wood dries. If you want...

Great videos Andy. Look forward to seeing some more. Dan.

If you just want to sharpen a convex ground blade then having thicker leather and extra flex is probably the easiest way to go about it. If you intend to sharpen other things: scandi grinds, chisels plane blades then a thinner leather on a paddle with some honing compound will enable a more...
