<div>I'm thinking of trying some sort of power carving device and I am wondering if anyone has done any power carving? If so, what do you use?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've also thought about the possibility of using a wood-burning set to accomplish this, but I don't think it would have the same depth of detail.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've got a little Dremel rotary tool but I am not sure that will be sufficient to do what I want to accomplish.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions are appreciated.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
