Hey everyone! I've been passionate about playing the classical/Spanish guitar for many years, but I'm looking to pick up a new hobby that I can dive into just as deeply. I'm really drawn to the aesthetic of small wooden ships, houses, and bowls. What woodcarving styles would you recommend for someone just starting out? Also, I read that figure carving and Treen carving might be good options—are those approachable for a newbie? Thanks for any suggestions!

The key is to choose a project that inspires you right from the start! If you’re more into music, think about carving something guitar-related. Whether it’s figures or anything else, wood is super versatile—you can shape it into whatever you want with enough practice. I started with carving cats and old-world Santas because they sparked my interest. Now I'm even getting into wooden bowls! Just follow your passion.
