Also those "pop eye" you could try to use a wood drill and drill them out a bit should work buy the cheap ones at action they work just fine and no big deal if they break !

If you don't force the tool you are not likely to break it. If you find yourself thinking;" Just a little more leverage and abit more push the tool is going to break.

Bonsai dangerous hobby, better take a upgrade on my insurance policy. What i have learned in those 7 year doing bonsai. Think twice and be gentle.
I'm using tools that Will say's those work nice and smooth. Like carving is a hobby inside a hobby. There are story's of people really get hurt using power tools, hand carving the same story. Is there a thread on witch carving tool you should use and why?

There is good reason it was the preferred wood for English longbows (Wych Elm being the other)... I always wanted to make one, but am in the wrong part of the world to be able to select from choice stock.

The wood was usually cut from the transition billets between heart wood and soft wood. Made for really solid and slexible bows. The forest of these trees in Europe were considered a stratigic resource until the gun took over. The other use was in making Lute bowels.
