If you are new to them, take a class or find an expericened wood worker to show you the ropes.

Object you are cutting hard to hold? I've had good luck glueing the subject to a piece of scrap plywood using scrap wedges & blocks to keep it stable. This lets you hold the wood, not the difficult to hold horn, bone, thing that is not square. This will also help you get even slices and waste less material.
And the next thing you know you have a shop full of tools and you are building a
Chippendale Highboy with Cabriole legs...
