im really interested in wood engraving, but i don't have any specific tools designed for it (i do have generic chisel's)
is there a single tool, thats good for engraving a single piece of flat wood? kind of like a portrait?
and how much would it cost? and could i find it at places like home depot and lowes?

A crafts store (Michael's, if you have that sort of store) carries woodworking hand tools.
There are a thousand different chisel tips to use for engraving work.

Some metal engravers are free from your local police stations, when it comes to engraving metal objects, like stereo equipment etc.....or expensive items....however sometimes one can go to a wood shop at most colleges and take in your object to be engraved and they'll do it for ya, or allow you too and there is no cost...or even a high school wood shop.....
Next best thing if ya just wanna own an engraver I'd look first at the phone book under automotive retailers, if they don't have them, they would know who to contact.
Also A home Depot........good luck.....

Wood Engraving tool developed from metal engraving tools. I use about a dozen different tools in all, but for most of my work I stick to four or five favourites. They have wonderful names. These vary from place to place but this is what I call them:
The SPITSTICKER is my main drawing tool, especially for curved lines. I have two widths, narrow and medium. I also use them for stippling - making small round marks.
The SCORPER cuts straight lines and is good for clearing out areas of white. I use three different widths of these to vary the texture of my cuts.
The TINT TOOL is good for cutting thin parallel lines.
The LOZENGE GRAVER cuts lines on varying width.
The MULTIPLE TOOL cuts several parallel lines at once. I have one but do not use it much at the moment.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/a0zKy
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

Chisels work well. A wood burner gives a good antiquey look. but probably the most versatile is a dremmel.
