Smile Chancemn, Wood carver

HI guys and gals Been wood carving for 20 years now, First figures faces and hands, now I am working on a series of hiking sticks, made of Paduk, I use mostly shaping tools. I just picked up the new Dremel with the plainer attachment. It s great for removing stock and shaping to the round. Great product!
Got any questions shoot away. Anyone from Canada on here. I am from Alberta Canada I pile to finish in pulmerized tung oil, Like working in teak, cottonwood bark, black wallnut, cedar,. The harder the wood the better detail it will hold.
