[Woodcarver] Re: question about relief carving

[Al]

Morning, Dick

After viewing your golf ball carvings, it occurred to me that you must have
developed a knack for efficiently removing the skin from the golf balls.
Would you mind sharing your technique with us.

Audry, I started-out using power and it was fun! Got tiired of the the dust
& the noise
(Couldn't hear 'Tom & Jerry' on the TV). I still use it for roughing-out.
Go with what you're comfortable with.

Remember 'carving' is about having fun...
