I have seen some great carvings here on TC by some Unreal carvers. Pretty much causing me to go blind from gazing at the screen to long. I have never posted and I might be considered a conscientious objector,so I guess I am breaking my vow of silence and walking out of the DMZ. I have run into a problem that has been touched on before about the hairy fiber palms, but I have not seen a post to the degree of what I have encountered. Unfortunately it seems this palm was hopped up on Metamucil. So when I saw the bristle patches of fiber I thought I will just burn them off. But when I carved below the surface it was just straw, no meat and unable to hold the integrity of the design. I know to some degree this is the nature and characteristics of palm, but was wondering if any of the carving Guru's on TC ever have run into this problem. If so do you have any suggestions on how I might fix the problem area? I think it is to late for Hair Club for Men, but I am open for any other suggestions

Mahalo,
