This video details my stock carving layout process. I’m using a pencil and some research to guide my decisions.

As an amateur builder, I go over my problems and how I fix them. Follow along as I build a Kibler Woodsrunner kit for my friend. I've not had a chance to build one of these and when a buddy asked if I'd build one for him, I jumped at the chance. Jim Kibler has made a great tutorial series on the step-by-step process to build one of these kits, I'll be following along with those and then deviating with my own attempt at carving and finishing.

We'll be adding some period-appropriate carving to this piece that fits not only historically, but functionally with my skill level.

The carving planner is not endorsed by Kibler, it's just a personal thing I like to do and am making it available to others.
