Having trouble getting your carving tools razor sharp? In Sharpening Simplified, Everett Ellenwood will show you a simple proven method to get your carving tools properly contoured and sharp each time you sharpen them.

Ev is an award winning carver, with more than 30 years of carving experience. He has taught carving classes for two decades, and was an independent distributor of pre-sharpened carving tools for 17 years. Over the years Ev perfected a unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which he taught to hundreds of carvers. This process was so well received that his students kept telling him "make a video", you need to share this!
