Wood choices for whiitlin" or carving ??
I used to do some whittling and carving as a boy- Now that I am retired and have time on my hands would like to get back into it- I know basswood is an easy choice, but are there any other wood recomendations for a rusty old novice ?? JJ, please don't say peachseed- My brother has a peachseed basket my ancestor carved out of a rotten peach he paid $5 for while a prisoner at Andersonville during the Civil War- Does not exactly evoke warm fuzzy memories to me or my family !! LOL

Robert, if you do start power carving, be sure to use some form of mask. Carving dust, especially on bone/stag, can be harmful to your lungs.
