In response to your questions and concerns, I offer the following: TAMA - My tools are probably the obvious choice the typical/lazy/inexperienced jade carver. I used diamond wheels (Diamond Pacific Pixie machine) for rough carving of convex surfaces, an 80 grit oval diamond point for the thumb depressions (Lopaki), and lots of sanding with 3M diamond paper down to 600 grit. BENZ - Thanks . . . what can I say? It is just like real life . . . a few rough spots make the smooth ones feel much better!!! [ Edited by: timidtiki 2009-02-25 08:08 ]
