Members swivelsphinx Posted August 26, 2008 Members Report Posted August 26, 2008 I admire that you took on an ambitious project first time out-of-the-gate. One thing that might help is making sure your knives are *very* sharp. When I did my first carvings, the blade of my swivel knife was "fresh out of the factory" but not nearly sharp enough- if you are having trouble around curved, sharp corners ( like Mike's wing tips) with having "pinched" or "pushed" bits that aren't cutting nicely, or you are finding you are losing agility because you have to press too hard (this is particularly bad when making circles, I find) you may want to work that blade up some more.
