This might be a good place for chisels. Check out the site and pay a visit to the show if you want unhandled chisels....Last time i was there they had loads of them and in every size. http://www.alexandrapalace.com/whatson_woodworking.html Danny

Hope the Yule and X-mas days were nice and enjoyable for you as it was for me....Got a great set of woodcarving chissels and will certainly try them out soon, thinking about a greenman or something. Hope that the new year may bring you joy and lots of creativity. Danny

Just finished another tropical fish from my 4 for 1 patterns... I used Ash and Iroko which i think gives a stunning effect but the picture only shows just a bit what polished/oiled iroko looks like. Overall length is 28 cm and had three coats of Danish oil. Danny
