Paipo - Rotary tools are how I got started carving. I had a dremel and an idea and went to town. Even my most recent carvings are done with some type of rotary too. Bits for removing large mass, sanding drums for shaping and refining - you can definatley carve wood easily with what you have. thedifference is the amount of dust! no water, so the dust will fly - make sure you wear some type of mask.

Here's an update (All this was done friday night, because I spent the day on the beach with the family and some unexpected surf!). This is definatley a "sandpaper" piece. Carving does not produce the same quality with the wood. The bad part is that I won't be able to put as much detail into it as I first wanted.
