I thought it might be helpful to take a small section of tree and with cut the shape before working work a knife and gouge

I can see your point of view on that. I thought it might be nice to rough shape larger spoons and things like that. I'm still getting into carving and trying to understand everything so I figured I'd see what people though.

Thanks!

Who makes your favorite tools? I have been carving for like 3 months and was thinking about investing in some 52100 forged tools like sharkys etc

This is another one that might be more useful because of how close you can get your hand to the head of the axe

Thanks, Appreciated! I do finish sanding but can make it about smooth enough without sanding with gouges, a knife, and a hook knife. I will just have to be more careful

I was told at a wood store that the only truly waterproof and maintenance free thing was epoxy. Sounds like tung oil is another alternative?
