Kit de tallado de pájaro cómodo - Kit completo para principiantes adultos, adolescentes y niños - DIY01

This was my first ever attempt at carving. I found the process very cathartic, and was so pleased with the finished bird. I was so proud of myself when it was done. I have given it to my sister who was so impressed I had made it for her. Have started on the cherry wood, and hope it turns out as well.

I loved that the kit came with everything I needed. The bandage was a nice touch - even if I didn't end up needing it, I got a good laugh! This was my first attempt at woodcarving, and it has me hooked.

The video instructions are good, although a bit more detail at the end about shaping would be helpful. The Beavercraft folks put out some excellent content on YouTube, so I'm hopeful this kit's video is up for a refresh.

A couple of suggestions for the product itself:
-Explicitly suggest people start with the basswood in the instructions
-Make sure all the sandpaper says the grit on the back (since it's pieces from a sheet, not every piece has the grit on it)
-Let folks know that they will need to strop more frequently when carving the cherry blank

Comes with more carving stuff than i thought it would. Great little kit.

Comes with the stencils

Great just started a new hobby at 70, nice

Very easy to follow, everything you need is in the kit, highly recommend,

Whittling this bird will be a slow process for me, but everything I need to learn how and complete the project is in the box.

Purchased as a gift for my girlfriend who loves amateur wood working and she loves it

I’ve been carving on and off for a year now so I’m still pretty new to the hobby. I’ve made some lighthouses (lighthomes? Lol), hearts, a ball in a cage, a crappy spoon, and a small fox. Easier things to practice the cuts and learn the patience. They’re not perfect carvings by far, but I made them and I’m pretty proud of them :) I’ve been eyeballing this comfort bird kit for a while and finally bought it. It looks easy enough, right? The kit includes two wood blocks, the carving stencils to glue on, a strop, the compound for the strop, sandpaper, a step by step booklet, finishing wax, bandages, wrap, a knife, and probably a thing or two I’m forgetting.While they do sent tape for wrapping fingers, I’d suggest wearing some gloves as well. When I was still very, very, very new to this I cut myself pretty good through the tape and had to go to the ER. My mistake was not reading the wood grain and knowing when to turn the wood so i hit a chunk and the blade skipped to my thumb and you can figure out the rest. Gloves would offer an additional level of protection.If you’re new to the hobby, be warned that their tools come to you sharp as heck! Take your time, get to know how the wood grain runs while you’re carving, make sure your fingers are protected, and you’re ready to go!

During my first session with this product I had so much trouble with cutting the wood. The knife would get jammed and twice I slice myself straight through the provided protective wrap. I figured it was me being a novice. I kept trying after a lot of struggling I managed to make something that looked like a bird.I was really discouraged and almost gave up on the hobby. As I was looking for tips and tricks to make the second block easier I came across a YouTube where a more advanced person tried out the kit. They complained about how hard the wood was. I ended up getting wood to try from another vendor and it was so easy.
