Hi Raffer, Chongo, & Polynesiac,

Being rather in touch with my "anal-compulsive" inner self, I just had to sand till I could no longer find any trace of chisel marks. You know those splinters that go half way up under your finger nail? OUCH! Well, after a few of those I decided it might be a good idea to pick up a nice high end pair of framer's gloves from Lowe's. Much better. You can ask all the questions in the world, but I guess that's how you learn.

So Euc & Paperbark is good carving, Polynesiac? My main experience from the old firewood lot was seeing logs mutilated with a hydraulic splitter, & the Euc just didn't look that great. Well, I already said "nay" to Gigantalope, but maybe I will get a chance to try out some of this stuff some time in the future.

Definitely need to learn more about the better carving woods...

Mahalo for the props, Amigos.

A-A
