A fishtale palm chisel that's about 1/3 of an inch wide and a straight edge one-inch wide chisel. I use these to rough cut it & then I use a dremel to sand it down. I then use 180 grit sandpaper. I have many hours of sanding ahead. This weekend I had to rest between chiseling sessions. My mallet gets a bit heavy for me. My husband recently bought me some small grinding heads for my dremel that I plan to try this week. My dremel is about all of the power I can handle. I tried some air tools but I don't have the strength to control them.
