    I meant to ask where you came up with the head idea. It looks like one I saw in a book by E.J. Tangerman. He only had a couple of paragraphs on carving peach pits though.

    I've used a Barlow but never a trapper, Jack Knife is a good choice though.
    I will suggest (Guess what ?) a Seahorse Whittler. I can't say enough about the Wharncliffe blade. That blade is strong and the point can really come in handy, but most likely will need to be sharpened, better, before you use it. I also like the coping and pen blades for detail work.
    It's all what you can work with best though.
    You start making baskets and you'll see the benefit of the Wharncliffe. You stand the greatest chance of breaking a less stout blade when you are hollowing out around the handles.
    I have thumb protectors in all of my carving bags and pouches but don't use them as much as I should. Keep bandaids handy too.
    I can't wait to see what you do next.
    Here's a bear that I carved for my wife. It statred out to be an elephant. LOL

I'm waiting to see a Doctor for neck surgery due to numbness in half my hand it's hard to do much when you can't feel things But I'm going to Duke Uv. the best on East coast to get more answers first!

    Thanks Steve! That is a beautiful Slimline MOP. It's nice that the Spurger Tx. Store bought up the collection from his Widow. So at least the knives will be made available to people that appreciate the knives.

    Hope all is well down by you, have a great day and Thanks again.
