Most carvers prefer working from a stool.
This has always restricted mobility around a piece of work. The Veritas Carver's Bench was designed for just such carvers. I found the true jewel of this bench to be the 360 degree swivel. Grain direction and carving angles require the carver to work a piece from different angles and it was wonderful that I could lightly tension the yoke which controls the swivel and turn the bench top by hand. This gave easy access to the carving from any angle.
