I thought perhaps we could share some of our personal tricks of the trade or special tools we have aquired during our short careers as wood carvers, or as in my case 'wood butcher'.
One of my favorite tools is one of those nut tools that you dig out on thanksgiving to dig those nuts out of the shells. I borrowed a couple from the silverware drawer and have modified it slightly to use as detail tools. The hook end works great for getting burrs around the undercuts. On one of them I ground the round end down and sharpened it to a very tiny chisel for cleanup. Let's here your ideas.

Cheers
