Tooling Advice

Recommended Posts

Was just wondering what is best to use when tooling, should I tool directly on granit, or should I put the rubber mateing on top, or should I use the Teflon cutting board?

Than in advance.

Tool directly on the stone. You want the hard surface to make crisp impacts, not a soft (rubber) bouncy surface.

Carve on your cutting board, then when you screw up and tap the surface with your knife you will not harm the blade.

Agreed ^ I just use the "poundo board" or cutting board to absorb the tips of my lacing chisels and punches etc.
