Got yourself A blank. Pm me an addy and it will be on its way. Promise me no politics and enjoy carving it. You want an easy Santa blank or something a little more challenging.

I own a Foredom, NSK and all sorts of stuff which I don't use. I'm a cowardly user of my precious hand tools but I just voted NO.
I think items carved with a Foredom or NSK or router or chain saw are just as "hand carved" as anything I peck out with my little palm sized hand tools. What's the problem? If I use a Foredom I'm going to direct and guide it with my hands, right?

YIKES! With Nancy the last person posting, I get a Santa blank????? HoooooBoy....I better do good!

Thanks, Goody, I'll look forward to it and try to do you justice, from a real greenhorn.

Hand Carved definition - The process of producing red water based liquid not consisting of acrylic, enamel, or similiar related properties most often as the result of the actions of the dominant hand improperly operating a razor sharp cutting instrument. This process is followed by the utterance of improper adjetives not suitable for young ears while examing one's intelligence as to why the proper safety attire was not equipped when it is in fact in one's clear vision. Finally the process is completed by proudly displaying the result to loved ones and friends and at times posting pictures of the said event on the WCI Message Board as a warning to others.

Hand carved to me, is carved with the hands. What tools the hands use is unimportant.

Ah ha, So My carvings aren't hand carved buy that definition. Razor sharp cutting insturment unless you are counting my mind.
I know, what mind.
