[Woodcarver] Plowed field

[Byron]

I've seen Joe's plowed fields and knew he would respond with good information.
Those fields looked really good too.  I also asked the same question when I saw them. 

Thanks for sharing, Joe,

Byron

Hi Lloyd,

I use a 60-degree V-tool for making the plowed rows. As I'm moving the 
V-tool through the wood I rock it side to side so first one wing cuts and 
than the other wing of the V-tool cuts. It leaves a texture that looks 
uneven like clumps of dirt in a plowed field.

I'll email a photo of a field I'm working on now.
