What I  would like to see more of is which gouges or V tools were used and
why.  Power carving . . . same thing, high speed steel bits or diamond bits.
You  know, the practical every day things that is the heart of the craft.  I
don't think I am missing the skills, but I am missing the experience and  the
methods. Ok . . . you get the idea. Hope I didn't offend  anyone


Hi Richard, this list has fallen off a bit lately which actually  seems to be 
a phenomena of late in many carving arenas.  but if there are  no questions 
posed, then there are no answers for you. what you suggest about  tools and 
bits is too broad a topic for anyone.  we deal in specifics as  different chisel 
profiles and bits are used for many different  applications.  Are you working 
on a project? do you need help in any  particular area?? do you need a tool or 
bit to do something specific.   There are many well qualified and talented 
carvers here. don't discount them.  ask a question and see what type of help you 
get. A lot of us are serious  craftsmen and artists and are too busy to be 
chatting too often.  I  wouldn't knock the chatting either as it is a way for 
you to get to know your  fellow carvers and contributes to a close community.  
This carving list is  actually known for its lack of banter as its one way to 
get removed from the  list.
