Doc Reaper Posted September 28, 2022 Report Posted September 28, 2022 You should share what you used for the tooling, name brands help those just starting out Quote Doc Reaper

CFM tsunkasapa Posted October 1, 2022 CFM Report Posted October 1, 2022 Definitely on a roll there. One thing you might look into is one of the figure carving matting tools. That will fade your background out and make your flowers stand out even more. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

CFM tsunkasapa Posted October 1, 2022 CFM Report Posted October 1, 2022 Here is the tool I was thinking of. There are 3 or 4 sizes. Obviously, this is on eBay, that was just the easiest place to find a picture of what I was referring to.

Members Gezzer Posted October 1, 2022 Author Members Report Posted October 1, 2022 @tsunkasapa Thanks , I just placed an order and went ahead and got the F900 . I think it may be more the size I need . Quote
