A <A HREF="http://www.imcclains.com/catalog/woodblocktools/benchhook.html" REL="nofollow">bench hook</A> is a board with two thin strips of wood nailed at the top on one side of the board and one long strip nailed to the bottom on the other side of the board. The top strips hold the block in place as you carve. The strip of wood on the bottom catches on a table edge and holds the whole kit and kaboodle in place on the table so you can use both hands to hold your carving tool. Gives you much more carving power and also goes a long way to prevent accidents.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-72738867741201821772007-09-05T16:20:00.000-04:002007-09-05T16:20:00.000-04:00Yeah, the island looks very nice, but so does the ...Yeah, the island looks very nice, but so does the paint job.
