same to you, have a good one...

BTW: do you suggest carving the turkey on the RAS or TS? (I don't have
a band saw, which would be my first choice)

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.

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*

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.

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)
