Hello,
I have a rather nasty problem with the inlet work I am trying to do on this butplate. The stock is curly maple and im using 1/8" and 1/4" chisels. At some points it it will chip and im not sure what I can do to prevent that. Someone said there may be something I can treat the stock with before I start chiseling away at it to harden the wood up.
any suggestions what im doing wrong here or why it's chipping?
