Default Carving a roughouts ...

Question for those who have carved roughouts. I ordered a couple of roughouts and since this is the first time I have tried carving from a roughout i assume you first smooth out all the "gouge looking" marks left producing the roughout?

Thanks.

C.McCoy:
Your absolutely right,you need to get all the tool marks off,then start carving.This is done with generally a Knife or a #3

C. McCoy,
Thats the first step, because if ya don't get rid of all those fuzzies first you will spend countless hours trying to get rid of them later!
