hurricane Report post Posted January 10, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted January 10, 2012 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. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Agreed ^ I just use the "poundo board" or cutting board to absorb the tips of my lacing chisels and punches etc. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
