[QUOTE="wylekyote, post: 3840234, member: 4455"] Primarily a dremel/power tools, but not exclusively. I make my blanks extra thick (like 3/8”) and then cut the outline with a scroll saw. Then I’ll clamp the 2 blanks together and use a drum sander to clean up the edges and make both grips identical. The actual carving is done with both a hand-checkering set made for wood stocks as well as with a dremel. I like to use the checkering files to get my pattern laid out, then come through with the dremel using a carbide bit to remove some bulk. Then go back with the checkering set, clean things up again, back to the dremel, etc. Once I get enough depth/contour and have very carefully sanded the pattern down, I put the grips back on the drum sander to take them down to proper thickness.
