I don't think that is an attempt; it's a resounding success!

A folded up towel works for me. Sometimes I use a big magnifying lense too and I can refill the towel as needed to fit under it.

No numbness etc.  I just get weak and start messing up the cuts. Instead of carving a horn in a  slow relaxed weekend, it now takes me a lot longer with a bunch of starting and stopping. Here’s one in working on lately. It’s been weeks already and will likely be weeks more.

Incredible work, T.C.! What a phenomenal amount of detail!

Guess who just purchased the “Recreating the 18th Century Hunting Pouch” book last week and just now came to the realization that you’re the author? That’s right: this guy.
