Should beginner's start with a beginner's (inexpensive) carving set or go 
right
to the $50 each tools ?

Good question!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I do not believe that a beginner should spend $50 on every tool he or 
she (thinks ) they need
But VERY cheap trools are a guaranty of failing to stay a carver

I remember a lady asking about MARPLES tools and one answer was "great can 
openers "
so she GIVE them to her grandson
than the response was " You don't like your grandson?"
Bad tools (cheap) are the most discouraging thing to have for a carver
that's my three cents wort
