When you level a wide background, keep the bevel low and take light, overlapping slicing cuts in the same direction. Each pass blends into the last, so the surface stays even. A wider blade is more likely to catch at its corners. Lift the corners slightly clear of the surface so they don't dig in and leave lines. Work with the grain wherever you can, and change direction if you see the fibres lifting. Palm chisels are pushed by hand, so don't strike them with a mallet. A few strokes on a leather strop loaded with honing compound between sessions will keep the edge as clean as the day it arrived.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-md leading-[24px] font-regular pt-[9px] pb-0.5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd the Narex PROFI Palm Carving Chisel (8mm) to your cart today for smoother backgrounds, wider coverage and burr-free finishing detail, and craft with confidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NAREX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67700432077075,"sku":"NRX-823500","price":33.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2727\/5283\/files\/NRX-823500-01.jpg?v=1792992852","url":"https:\/\/www.carbatec.com.au\/products\/narex-profi-palm-carving-chisel-sweep-gouge-8mm","provider":"Carbatec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
