Tama the Teacher, Thanks for the bit on the burs. I agree the cheep chinese are poor quality and it is the same in carving tools. The market right now is flooded with 12$ "Master.commercial" sets of chisels and you will Never be able to get an edge on them. I've been trying to find Us suppliers and have maybe located one, but it is hard since most still offer the cheap burs. I appreciate the help you are offering, it goes above and beyond the call of duty, Thanks.
One question, I use 3/32" and 1/8" size shanks for my tools. Where does the 2.4 and4 mm sizes fit in?

I guess I never posted the Stone Moai here so here it iz:
First rough out

Ben, did you stain the rock? It looked flat grey at first, then tan, just wondering how you got that color and polish. thanks
