I picked it up at harbor freight. It's solid and very abrasive. Doesn't put a good finish on the wood but will definitely take out some wood. I ended up using my chainsaw to make the cuts deeper. I also for the first time used hand chisels I bought from Sears (craftsman). I have no idea if they are any good but I can tell you without a doubt they were much better than some old rusty chisels I had laying around. It's immediately obvious how important it is maintain a sharp edge. Amazing how much can be done in a short time with a sharp chisel....plus the finish was much crisper. Hopefully we'll have some carving time this weekend. I can't wait to burn it. More pics to come
