Hello and welcome to the forum. Have you tried the search on here in general instead of a specific members link? Try that if you haven't. There are also lots of youtube videos on the internet that might help you. Safe carving. Paul

Tiger, you are in good company. Just blast out you own ideas, the forms that come to mind, everything goes well. What does your heart and head tell you is in the stick? Do it.
