Thanks guys. Yes I am aware of sharpening and how the process works. I started out on restoring old billhook blades with a file and some stones, I then transferred those skills to an axe and then onto the carving tools. I might not be an expert on it by any standards but I can make an edge sharp. It’s all been trial and error, I have a book, youtube videos and a couple of friends with advice to go by. So it’s getting there and everyone on here is full of support and encouragement which really helps ?
