[Woodcarver] Looking for stick carving vise ideas.

[Gordon Paterson]

Hmmmm...stickcarving holder...try the Whizz's web page or maybe it's called 
an album....he is a master at devising carving holding devices. I'm sure he 
has something that will suit your needs , look in all his albums. The 
Whizz's real name is Richard Rombold I believe.
