[MR] Need wood carving recommendations

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

Good afternoon!

I'm hoping there's someone out there who can point me to a few things
relating to wood carving.  I'm an utter and complete novice but I want to
learn.  I want to carve three-dimensional items (such as dogs, horses, etc.
as medieval children's toys and small implements (for display, not for
children to actually play with)....

so I am in need of recommendations for carving tools and what type of wood
would be best suited for such an endeavor (as well as any clue where I might
find such wood).
