The paper
Two types of sandpaper to remove hard edges and achieve a soft finish.

HOW TO TÄLJA
Classic
Keep your hand close to the knife’s blade. Carve away from you in a steady and firm motion, moving the blade from base to tip. Apply pressure to the blade and keep it level against the wood
Thumb grip
Use your thumb at the base of the wood for support and so you don't cut yourself. Angle the knife slightly away from you and gently push the wood with your thumb and press the knife towards you.
