What gouges and vtools would you suggest buying?

Brad, if you check the comment section for the Beavercraft palm tool video, I’ve already answered that question.

Thank you!

Can I carve that without having to split the wood

[@halflingcarvings]

Absolutely! Just carry the cuts for the brim of the hat around to the back and mirror the cut for the fold in the hat on the back. If you're having a hard time understanding what I mean, check out Doug Linker's video: Carve a Santa Face Ornament - Full hand tool tutorial and skip to 1:05 to see a side view of how to bring the hat around. Check out his channel as well! He has a bunch of beginner tutorials on his channel that will help you out. My favorite is the Owl video!
