Interesting to find out that the cross didn't originally have associations with the crucifixion, isn't it?Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-22517583216698417092007-12-12T09:41:00.000-05:002007-12-12T09:41:00.000-05:00annie, are you using the 3 or the 6 mm hangi-to fo...annie, are you using the 3 or the 6 mm hangi-to for this border? i prefer using the flat blade as well, but i have the Power Grip set. i'm looking at ordering the Michi Hamano tools but don't know if i should get the 7 or the 12-set. bette.Bette Norcross Wappner --https://www.blogger.com/profile/04458670015305220788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-45921368340237873622007-12-12T09:10:00.000-05:002007-12-12T09:10:00.000-05:00Annie,this sent me on quite an information hunt ab...Annie,<BR/>this sent me on quite an information hunt about the origination of the symbol for the cross...I am interested in early symbols so found it all pretty fascinating.

I have a set of 12 <A HREF="http://www.barenforum.org/mall/products/michi.php" REL="nofollow">Michi Hamono</A> tools that I got from the Baren Mall that I use exclusively. For the detail work I use the hangi-to (flat knife) rather than gouges. I find that gouges often tear through tiny areas of wood and cause it to splinter while a knife is much more precise.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-17116542458805098332007-12-12T07:16:00.000-05:002007-12-12T07:16:00.000-05:00Hang in there Annie, your work is really beautiful...Hang in there Annie, your work is really beautiful.pkbivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100661556877507054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-82802957171479498642007-12-11T23:36:00.000-05:002007-12-11T23:36:00.000-05:00this detail work ROCKS. what brand and size carvin...this detail work ROCKS. what brand and size carving tool are you using for this?Bette Norcross Wappner --https://www.blogger.com/profile/04458670015305220788noreply@blogger.com
