[Woodcarver] Bark carving question - fantasy houses

[Merrilee Johnson]

Thanks for the location of other tools Dick.  I got rid of the one knife I 
started with that was really bad and got fairly good ones early on.  So l 
was stuck with where do I get other tools that aren't that expensive to use 
for this fun project!  I am on my way to Wally World!
