I'm working on the Judy Gale Roberts cardinal and dogwood blossoms intarsia. She says on the pattern--and it shows on the picture that accompanies the pattern--that she carved folds in the blossoms to make them more realistic, but there's nothing about what she used to do the carving. I've experimented with dremel attachments but am not happy with the result. Any suggestions, anyone?
