woody, the tool is a 3/8" palm gouge shallow type. I will post a list of my tools on my web site. see more carvings at my site also. google jim redhawk to find it. redhawk
We all don't have your level of talent. I have a brother who can carve anything he looks at or remembers. But I developed this technique to help carvers with very little or no talent. I use my technique on every carving I do. Helps me keep things straight and true until I start with the details. Have a good day.
