I did get a set of dental tools that I was able to use the pick on the last one for some really fine cleanup. You are a great teacher, I haven't even cut myself yet (knock on wood). pdrake - thanks again for letting me borrow your hook knife at the Oki Oki. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten hooked. :) I drug my dremel out for the first time to try it out on the wood, I was hoping to use it to do some roughing out as my next piece is going to have a lot more wood taken off, but I didn't have too much success. I'm doing a 2"x2"x5" piece, and need to round off the entire head, the hook knife is going to take a while, does anyone have other ideas on what to use for roughing out to speed me up?
