<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 8254939, member: 5833"]When I checked the stats on lefties, one caveat was that lefties very often switch hands depending on the task. I had a boyfriend who used mainly his left, but was right handed when it came to knives. I think there is probably some merit in the hypothesis that carvers prefer profiles that face their dominant hand - imagine you were working on a cameo, how much more convenient it would be if your hand were not covering up the work - but obviously not a hard & fast rule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
