[Woodcarver] What you all carving?

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Patti,

I like the Native American Woman in progress. Great job. 

If you want to remove all your tool marks, try using a scraper. Take a putty knife grind a nice sharp scraper edge perpendicular across the end. Scraping is about 10 times faster then sanding. You can grind the end of the putty knife to fit almost any curve or shape to help get in difficult areas.

        Donna,  the real work just begins...all the sanding...skin must be smooth,  me thinks....but I am pleased with recent progress...she sat ignored on my bench in the south building for a few years...out of sight so I did not have to face the challenge.


        Thanks for the comments...did not know you have had a look at it.

          She looks good to me, Patti, I think you should finish her up no problem. She is practically done as is.
