Doing that kind of work, you may well spend more time in one spot than I do.
Maybe some sort of pad will work for you - or as Karl suggests - good shoes.
For me... freakin' sneakers. But I'm not as old as Karl...

I've never done relief carving, but I would have thought that a nice high

No sitting. You want to use your whole body to carve, at least so I've

disrespectful.
