Oh yeah, those funny looking Chinese carving tools?
   Yeah they carve rosewood bridges 99 feet wide with those things. Huge 
amazing things with those. Man the guys who can use them are not 
screwing around. Architecture, big structures fantasmagoric feet deep 
carvings. Yowsa wowsa

     They just neglected to give us lessons. I have trouble with them too.
So far they are kicking my ass. I can't really handle them well at all. 
Long and skinny, with a long neck, is what they all are. And one more 
funny looking than the next as far as standard carving blade shapes goes.
    And people just annihilate wood with them.

  You know my buddy Matthew was right there. Buying chisels on the town 
square, with the sound of mallets in the background.
  You'd think he would have hung around more and at least watched?? I'd 
have been.
    yours Scott
