Cleaning up a Carve

[Falbs]

I have a carving of an eagle that is on the side of cigar box that i am building. I have trying everything i think of to clean up the detail. I have used almost every dremel tool attachment to clean up the wings and body feathering but it just either way to aggressive or it is just getting eaten up the media. Tried using the old hand and sand paper but i have can't get in to the tight areas.


Thanks again.

falbs,

I'm still partial to the radial bristles that I give the link to in this LINK (http://forum.carvewright.com/showthread.php?t=6263&highlight=bristle&page=2).
The whole thread is about this topic - as are several others.

I got some of those radial bristle brushes when everyone was talking about them. They work GREAT!! My experience with them has been nothing but positive. And, they come in a pretty good range of grits.
