Wood carver's screws are essential for securely holding workpieces in place. They prevent movement while you’re working on them.
In woodworking, it’s generally not recommended to screw directly into end grain. The metal threads of the screw cut through wood fibers, which can weaken the grip. Instead, you want to screw across the wood fibers to ensure better holding power.
The tapered part of the woodcarver screw is turned into a predrilled hole in the base or back of the workpiece. The remaining screw is fastened through a hole in the table or a bench dog hole in the workbench. This setup provides stability and allows you to carve without worrying about the piece shifting.
So, if you’re into wood carving, this screw is a simple yet effective solution for holding your carvings steady while you work!
