[Woodcarver] Gentle Dripplers:-)

[Mike Gratton]

www.littleshavers.com has a good looking starter kit. 
It comes with what you'd need to get started.  His
tools come razor sharp and it includes a small set of
hand tools, a knife, a glove and a thumb guard.  I
don't remember the price but it's less than $50.
