[Woodcarver] CRAMPS IN THE HAND AND PAINTING?

[Bill Smith]

hi :

I just thought about something that could be happenin
to u have u ever been tested for carpel tunnel
sysdrom. 
As with the normal small pens have been found to be a
cause of this condition, what I have done is taken and
enlarged my paint brush handles so that they are
thicker in size and also more controll is gotten from
doin this as well..
