[Woodcarver] Best wood burning tool?

[faulkner2206]

I always hone my burner tips, both colewood and razor. Sharpen them like a knife for really tight feather barbs. Much of this becomes a matter of personal preferance based on what you get used to.

    I take classes from a
        guy who uses razor tips.  He believes
        the tips are better than the Colwood.  To do the quill, I
        purchased a Razor tip pen and tip, with
          an adapter to fit the
          Colwood.  He honed down the one tip on my Colwood  so that it was thinner.

      Dear List members,
      

      
      I am a novice woodcarver who has
        started a somewhat ambitious bird carving. I am nearing the
        point where I will be detailing the feathers, and wish to get
        feedback from more experienced carvers than myself about the
        best woodburning tool.  I am looking for a set that allows
        precise temperature control and that has a variety of tips for
        different purposes. Suggestions welcome, thanks in advance.
