[Woodcarver] lighting question

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi Steve!
   In my basement is my carving space.  Last year for my birthday my son put 
up 4 more fluorescent light sets.  Boy is it wonderful!!  but now that you 
mentioned the different  colors what is best to carve in.  I haven't looked 
at what he got me and it is light enough all around but could I do better??  
That's the question....  Thanks for clarifying!
Merrilee

>>Harry, the chair, and the lighting, are just as important as your tools.

>>There's a lot of controversary about lighting... I went to the Philips

>>I bought a "Desk Lamp" at the local department store that gives
