Looking at JohhnyP's stuff and some sites from Gman made me wanna try one. Gman.. I'm tryin! Seems like life has been getting in the way of carving WAY too often lately! Actually, on the yipwon I use the arbortech a lot. Bought a scrolling jigsaw to make the big cuts. 2" was a little too much wood for this piece.. I think for the next one I'll start with a 1x8 piece instead. For the Hawaiian piece.. I've kind of stuck to hand chisels. Trying to improve my skills with them. JohnnyP, Loki.. Thanks!!! I used a jigsaw, but I bought a new one that was 6 amps and scrolling, then I clamped the crap out of the wood. My old 3.2 amp jigsaw was shaking it up pretty good. It worked ok... I think partly because it was 2" deep wood...which makes for more removal than necessary.
