Same here. Ive tried a couple of times, but the wood’s been too dry/brittle.

Put this on your list. The Woodwright's Shop | Lumberjack Fan Carving | Season 37 | Episode 9 | PBS   Nice guy, too.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

I have seen that episode a couple of times...I also have the book the presenter published...One of the reasons it interests me is because I remember my grandfather making both fan birds and fans out of apple crates....My mom had several he made that were in my sister's possession until they were destroyed when her house burned.

That would be a good reason to carve one!  Enjoy the project.  -Howard

Join a woodcarving club. They teach stuff like this. A good friend of mine learned the technique to teach to his club.  I don’t recall any of the specifics.
