Ya....too much scotch and water will turn your brain to mush. I haven't acquired the taste for any kind of booze.

I know, Dull Knife, isn't that great?!!! I keep a small spray bottle on my carving table and use it repeatedly when working, it's such a huge help!!! Deborah

Wish I would have done that before I put my knife to that wood, may have saved me 6 stitches!

Mine sits well within reach at all times. Saves a lot of "conversaion".

Same here, spray bottle on my bench. Works great, particularly on that pesky end-grain!
