    Thanks David, Willis, and Amery. I'm going to check out the red wax
    that Amery mentioned and also have the kids work more with beeswax.
    My youngest prefers more to design and direct (hmmmm) but my son
    wants to get right in there and carve. We'll be looking for the right
    balance between tool sharpness and wax carveability. I haven't let
    him use the really sharp tools yet, but we've got a few that seem to
    be sharp enough without leading to ER visits if he slips. It's
    important to me that he learns to keep his eye on what his hands are
    doing. 

Thanks again.
