[Woodcarver] Two Cherry tools

[Mike Gratton]

I'm not very experienced at carving yet but I've been
burned in the past by pinching pennies.  I have also
learned though that just because it's more expensive
means it's better.  That's why I appreciate all of you
more experienced folks sharing your knowldedge.
