[Woodcarver] Hair Ideas, Anyone??

[Bill Judt]

Dean:

The tools you describe are called "stamping tools" (my term), and the  
pattern filed into the end of them is called a cross-hatch pattern,  
make with a 1/4" triangle file.

My fifth book (on CD only) has a tutorial on making these stamping  
tools, and using them effectively as well. Go to:

Hope this helps,

Blessings and Peace,

Bill
