You are perfectly right, I bought books written by a British expert who was happy to explain his different techniques, I translated them into French, my father thought they were a great help. He was a farmer , son of a carpenter and enjoyed making candle sticks ( sometimes 4 feet high), soup bowls etc. There are very old homes in my birthplace, plus several castles and their owners insisted on buying what I called "country art" to decorate the mantelpieces of old fireplaces or big pieces of furniture.
Unfortunately I cant remember the name of that writer, why not ask for his name on a British blog I'll now wait for some pictures of yours, your beginnings are quite promising, beware of knots they can make the tool fly away...
