This is the fourth of eight bears I am carving as "giveaways".
I carve simple carvings for charities, guests, and show raffles.
I have been asked many times what tools I use and carry in my cigar (tool) box.
That is a difficult question since it depends on what I am carving at the moment.
I have exchanged many of the tool handles to better fit my hand and the box.
There are a handful of tools that are always found in my tool box, this is the list.
Tools recommended for every serious carver / whittler of hand-held carvings
