Now I have done this a few times with hand rasps and sandpaper, but a Dremel with carbide rasp tip works really well too. In this tutorial I will show you how I shape with a Dremel.

I also do all detail carving with a sanding tip, ''not'' a rasp. I think the rasp would do too much too quickly. | Then I switch to a sanding drum to smooth out the rasp marks (make sure not to go so far with the rasps that you can't take out the marks without ruining the brush).
