There might be one of these stores near you. Save the time making tools and
make the art.

I think I have gotten some diamond sharpening stones from woodcraft. There
used to be a store a lot closer.

Then again, don't do as I say...... I have a wax carving knife at work that
I made from a graver blank. For some reason they cut nicer ;-)
