I mostly use various shapes and sizes of Pfeil gouge to shape the wood, though to speed up the process, I'll often saw out some parts, or even ( carefully ) drill into the initial shape, as it's not only quicker, but can also be less risky than just whacking away with a mallet and chisel.
Hi,
I was wondering about your wood carvings. Do you use a dremel or something similar to carve/sand them? If so what attachments do you use?
Thanks
