Mighty small details..you must have a really steady hand,and some micro-sized tools. What do you use to carve stuff that small?

Thank Robert but how do you know if something is beyond your skill set unless you try it.

You amaze me every day. You not only have a really gifted talent for carving but you must also have incredible eye sight. I can't even see anything that tiny!

Your miniature carvings continue to amaze me.
Do you use magnifier type glasses like my dentist or maybe carve under a magnifying light?
