[Woodcarver] Hi all...a Noob here

Hi Chris,
Go to www.carvingpatterns.com Susan Irish's site, she has some great step by step beginner projects and her site is full of helpful tips.
Also this list is a wealth of information. Try a local lumber mill for wood, I use Specialty Hardwoods and I get off cuts at very reasonable prices.
All the best.

  Hi everyone,
  I'm a noob to woodcarving.  I live in Collingwood Ontario and I was wondering what I should do for a first carve?  Where can I find beginner patterns?  Where can I find good carving wood in my area?  'Cus I checked Michaels Craft Store, WOW! they wanted $9 for a 1.75 X 1.75 X 10" block of Basswood up to $20 bucks or more for bigger pieces and Rounds.  HELP!! I am somewhat BRAINBOGGLED over here and don't know where to start.  Hope some folks can help me out as I have no idea where to begin and what to try first.
  Thanks ALOT in ADVANCE
