that sounds way too kinky for me!
I like the gouge and spoon thing, though..
My son's here from Ft. Lewis up in Wa. (we're in central Ca.) and
wants to carve it with his m-16...
we told him that it would probably be ok, but only outside.. *g*

From the country north of the 49th that seems to have a congenital
idiocy much of the time, I say... Amen.

Naw, true Neanders carve their turkey by hand.
I reccomend a 2" #3 (English pattern) gouge for roughing out and
finish up with a #11 spoon bent gouge for the detail work.
Don't forget to strop frequently.

The thought crossed my mind, as I was cutting butternut squash today.
Ended up using a high carbon blade Chinese cleaver, on an UNOILED maple
chopping block.
The crowd was fewer this year. There were only 22 of us. One daughter-in-
law took their crew to her folks place, where her back-from-two-tours-in-
Iraq brother, a Marine Lance Corporal, was thankfully safely home.
We have much for which to be grateful.

Who carves? When the bird is properly done(our family specs), you don't
carve it, just pull it off the bones. Much rather have one like this vs. a
"picture perfect" bird that carves nicely but tastes not quite done.(IMHO)

No, no, no! A James Swan 3" slick is the main tool for breast
work and taking those legs and wings off like they were nothing.

I prefer a 25mm #3 sweep myself. To each his own.

Good call.
