Flower Jade, is this prone to chipping on the rind, does the Jade get more stable the more you work away from the rind and into the greenstuff. Are there any tips you can give for the bottom of grooves you carve, after carving an initial line with a needle and deepening with wider burrs, quite often the bottom of the groove is uneven. See what I mean on the fin Lastly, if you are going to attempt a pebble carve and do skitter, is there any way back, likewise if you get chips. Regards Flynny Stonescraper
