Seeks, Love the chiseled look. That is monotonous work unless you are using a recip carver!  Wondered when we would catch this guy again?

Wow, coming along great. I love the texture on the body. Looks like it's done with a bazillion tiny little chips.

Seeks, I'm surprised you haven't run across a reciprocating handpiece/carver yet.
HERE is the company that makes the best one that I know of so STARTHERE
at the top and work your way down to the Wecheer models HERE
There are many models from a few different makers around so searching google does quite well. The units are mostly weak and not very long-lasting unless you pay for the bigger bucks ones but I can PROMISE you that when you get one in your hand and put it too the wood you will smile for a long time!
GoodInfo
ANOTHER Top of the line models. If I had the bux it would be between this one and the Automach big box and I think Automach would win
This one was SO BADBADBAD they never even put their name on it and took it off the market.
Keep looking and If you find something you like, check for pricing as the $ will vary widely. Also shoot me a pm if you have any more questions.
