David,

One trick I use is to hot glue a small block onto the back of the 
side I'm working on. It can be six or eight sided so the piece can 
be rotated in a flat workbench vise or it can clamped in a rotating 
carving vise. Use high quality woodworkers hot glue, not the kind 
you find in craft stores. If possible, leave the area that the block 
is glued to a little thick so that it's easy to cut the block off. 
If the area is already carved close to the finished surface, you can 
use a stripping gun and scraper to remove the glue.

Be sure to look at the incredible nature inspired art jewelry hand 
fabricated by my wife, Karen Olsen Ramsey. It's worth the time to 
take a look!
