Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

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 !!

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.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad I don't have to ware a Mardi Gras mask.....LOL
