When you carve towards your chest, legs, abdomen=A0or hands/arms and that will happen thousands of times, make sure your blade has a slightly=A0circular movement and you lift it by the time the blade got to the end of the cut. This is a very good safety tip which I learned from the Native carvers of cedar Totem Poles, Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands.

So my wood shop teacher gave me one piece of advice that may seem
silly but when I have ignored it has meant stitches at the hospital.
It is very simple,  "Don't put anything in front of the blade that you
don't want to cut off"  So take it nice and easy and don't get in
a
hurry unless its sandpapering.  Good Luck.
