Dembart tools..all of them. Start with 16 - 20 LPI. Any finer and you will go blind. Practice practice practice. Don't bite off a big job to start. Go slow, don't do it tired, do it in sessions. Good book: Checkering and carving of Gunstocks by Monty Kennedy. Lots of tips, plenty of good patterns. Got mine on Ebay for $20.00. These are just my small contributions as a beginner myself. There are Guild memebers on this board that can offer a wealth of information and advice.
