Carving a Moravian Star from a piece of Basswood!

In this video, I'll demonstrate how to carve a Moravian Star. This is a great exercise for beginner carvers and it makes a beautiful Christmas tree ornament. I'll go over the basic stop cut and push cut. I'll also demonstrate how to strop your knife to keep it razor sharp.
