Dastra Tools

The Dastra tools have been crafted in Germany since 1835. Nora uses many antique Dastra tools inherited from her father, which is a testiment to the quality and longevity of these fine tools. The high-quality steel holds an edge the longest and is 'deep hardened' for a very long life. The hornbeam octagonal handles are fitted to distribute force evenly. The professionals that make these tools take great pride in their work. They were made to last a lifetime!

Why purchase tools directly from Nora Hall?
Most other suppliers of woodcarving tools are not woodcarvers themselves, so you run the risk of receiving dull tools with bevels that are too short and distorted. Nora's tools arrive at your home razor sharp with the bevels shaped to Nora's exact specifications. You can begin carving immediately.
Nora's students are always amazed by how easy and enjoyable her tools are to use. The secret is in the bevels.
These carving tools will last for many generations. Do yourself a favor and start your carving life off on the right foot. They make all the difference.
