I am new  to the list and this is my first post. I am
also relatively new to serious  woodcarving. I did a little bit
back in 8th grade (I am now 50 yrs young).  
I've been doing some reading on Chip Carving. My
question  is about the difference in the "Stab Knife" & the "Skew
Knife". I've  been comparing the two & I can see little if any
difference between  them. Can you help me with this?



Serious woodcarving????   Well some of us are serious and  
others.....well.....lets just say you will have your hands full dealing with us  all.  anyway 
welcome.  I have tried my hand at chip carving though  others are much more 
knowledgeable.  The tool requirement for chip carving  is easy.  to be able to 
master it you will need both the stab and the  skew.  If money is an issue, start 
with a decent stab knife and acquire the  skew when you can.  Contact either 
Dennis Moor (Canada)  _http://www.chippingaway.com/About.htm_ 
(http://www.chippingaway.com/About.htm)  or  Wayne Barton _http://www.chipcarving.com/_ 
(http://www.chipcarving.com/) .  They  are the best in chip carving and you cannot 
go wrong buying tools and other chip  carving essentials from either one.  
Check out both of their web sites for  lots of info and patterns and such.  Best 
way to learn is to take a class,  next best is to get a video by either guy.  
have fun and feel free to ask a  billion questions.
