Video, Making Mistakes with the Pencil and not with the Carving Knive

Carving thin details cross grain is one place where wood is likely to split. I try to design my work so that all long thin details run with the grain, or else so that these thin details are anchored into a section that runs with the grain. This video, about making mistakes with a pencil and not with a knive, talks about this issue.
