| Re: Cypress knee smile Sure thing. First I carve out the beard flow perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Sand it smooth. Then I used a wood burner to burn in the hair. There is a book from our friends at fox chapel that will also show you the details it is called Carving Cypress Knees by Carole Jean Boyd and Jack A. Williams. In fact, I must be honest that the knee that I did is a combination of a couple of their ideas and a few of my own.... |

| Re: Cypress knee smile One word of caution, the sanding dust from a cypress knee is said to be toxic. Be sure to wear a mask. |
