Do your comments mean the crappie is totally knife carved?
I use a tool i made to cut the scales ,aside from that all knife

Wow, much respect! I absolutely love knife-carving and am never without a pocket knife and carving project in my work bag and/or glove box but I have found palm chisels and bench gouges save me hours of work in both roughing out and fine carving. Have you considered trying a v-tool and shallow gouge in addition to the knives?

I do you use a few gouges and small v tool.but they are powered buy me not electricity.
Dont have a thing against power carving its just not for me.if i were to be a power carver i would probably be shootingmoderen bows to.
