[Woodcarver] Carving tools

[Clive Goss]

I agree with Loren, I started out with small palm size tools, and graduated
to mallet tools, I now find that the majority of my cuts can be accomplished
by the mallet tools, using them as hand tools. I occasionally use the palm
tools, but mostly they are in my box gathering dust. I also have a Dremel
and a couple of burrs, but only use it very occasionally when I find a spot
that is to tight to get into with ordinary tools.
Just my thoughts.
Take care all,
Clive.
