I understood it until I got to the end. When you say you carve on either side of the hair, does this mean you are kind of shaving or planing wood off at each end of the raised line that will print as the hair strand?

Yes, exactly - at each _side_ of the end of the line ... The idea is to shave off the abrupt end of the line, leaving it to taper off into invisibility. *** Matt wrote: > Here in New Hampshire we have an organization called The League of NH >Craftsmen.

Matt do you do the whole nine days by yourself? Does your family come with you and hang out in the tent and help out? Do you all sleep out there too, or is it close enough to go home every night?
