I guess that's what all your experience has taught you. It's still fascinating to watch! It makes me want to try one day. As a report for you, carving is WAY easier (ie: smoother) when you carve at the right time. I carved my 2nd Hawaiian shirt platter last night at everything carved pretty smoothly without multiple strokes! IT will be even better when those new craving tools arrive. Thanks so much for finding them for me.
