and here's another tip from the same page: ** *Chopsticks*: Next time you visit an Oriental restaurant, save those chopsticks! Why? They are great for removing small pieces of wood stuck in the tip of your increment borer, and they won't damage your borer. Carry one or two in your field vest. Remember, never ever use the metal tip of your extractor!
