Wood
carving in Sculpture, woodworking in cabinet and furniture
making, and wood turning are three entirely different
fields. Although similar in many regards, the tools for each
are not quite the same. In wood carving the bevel on the
tools may be at a lesser angle and the cutting edge is
generally thinner. The steel grade, 1095C (a high carbon
steel, tempered or heat treated to harden the steel so it
maintains a sharp edge) will range approximately .59 to .62
on the Rockwell Black Diamond hardness testing device. |
