  Thanks for the tip on the sharpening of my Warren tools. I will follow your advise.
  I took the time to look at your carvings and they are great. It seems that everyone on this list is very talented. 
  Many thanks

Russ, one of the first tool sets that I bought was Warren tools, and yes you 
have to sharpen them before you use them. As you said the angle is too 
steep. I sharpened mine down to about 20º &
they worked much better. The blades are good steel & stay sharp with a 
stropping.
Welcome to the list.
