My dad use to & he made all of his own blades & gouges.

If you want to get serious in wood carving the best option is to buy a set of knives made for that purpose.

I have a set of swiss made Pfeil wood carving tools that I accumulated over the years.

I checked, and Amazon has a good looking set. I can't say what the quality is but they look good and are a lot less expensive than a set of Pfeil chisels.

Woodcraft.com has a good selection of high quality tools. https://www.woodcraft.com/blog_entri...s-for-carving#

You might want to go to the library and get a book on wood carving and then decide what kind of carving you want to do.

Nah, I let other people do it, then I go to carving shows and buy their stuff.
Much easier that way.
