Ahoy me maties!
So lately I've been wanting to start wood carving, and chose to make a ship as a start, just because. Here's my product, comments, tips, and pics of your wood carvings are welcome!
This is my first instructable however, so bear with me, and leave tips please!
Disclaimer: This instructable does include the use of knives and other sharp tools, and I am in no way responsible for any harm you may do to yourself. Please be very careful, use these tools responsibly, and try not to hurt yourself!
Enjoy!
Also I entered this 'ible into the Woodworking Contest (2 hrs 50 minutes before the deadline :) ) so your vote would be greatly appreciated!

What you will need to set sail.
A piece of wood (a saw to cut some if you need to)
-Try and get one with few knots, they make your work very annoying.
Moderately sharp Exacto / Utility Knife
Knife
Chisel (I didn't have one, so made one out of a screwdriver)
Hammer
Super Glue/ Hot glue/ other glue
Some thin cloth (sails)
String
Wooden Skewers
Drill
Time/patience
So I kinda cut more wood then I need to, but turns out the extras came in handy when i decided to ad stuff to the ship or repair it.
For the chisel, since I just started carving stuff, file + old flathead screwdriver = easy, pretty good chisel in a couple minutes!
