Roughouts

Roughouts are actually woodcarving blanks that enable woodcarvers to get to the "fun" part of carving a figure or other project made of wood. Roughouts are being used heavily in the teaching of woodcarving by instructors. Ordering information, and some pictures of original carvings by Ed Zinger, along with their corresponding roughouts, can be viewed by clicking the "Roughouts" button below.

Teaching Aids

At this time, we are offering two different teaching aids. The "Nose Pickin Stick" is a casting of an original carving that depicts a step by step process in the carving of a nose. The "Eye Pokin Stick" is a casting of an original carving that depicts a step by step process in the carving of an eye. Both are very helpful and may be viewed and purchased by clicking the "Teaching Aids" button below.
