I do not like bar grounders when they are used like the Sheridan carvers use them. Look at some Sheridan carvings on the net and you willl see how they are used in a pattern in the background. I'll try to fine some pix of how I use them.

Bar Grounders are background tools that are long and narrow with a seed type pattern. Most of the Sheridan carvers use them.

My bar grounders are still unused. I just don't have any fondness for them. If I want patterns in the background, I have other stamps that work well. I suppose I'll find a use for them one of these days.
