In terms of getting fabric/string/cord, etc out of the bottom of the hole in an ukiran, I've had good luck with a pair of nail scissors of the sort in the attached picture.

Have fun,
Leif

A dental pick works wonders .

Yeah, I've used those too Rick.

Actually old discarded dental tools can be very useful in many ways. The ones with a slightly broad blade can be sharpened to act as mini chisels that can be extremely useful in fine restoration work.
