basswood by
Turtle
HI
I have a piece of dried(?) basswood that Im carving a bluejay family
with. Im finding that the wood is very hard, unlike normal basswood. Does
anyone know if its too dry,, old, or from a hard part of the tree and if it
can be softenned up somehow?

Basswood shopping by
sdenison
I do a great deal of pyrography-based plaques as gifts. Can anyone give me
a source for rounds (any size) at a good price? I'm tiring of the + or - $1
per inch diameter price average from the local stores.

patrick
In case any of you have not seen it, go to the
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking channel and look at the post from Mike
Hide titled "finished bench." It is a series of pictures of the carved legs
on a table that he made. Very good quality and carved workmanship.

Beginners Knife?? by
Jim Warren
I am a pocket-knife whittler and would like to move up to more serious
carving. My interest is 3 dimensional figure carving. If you were to buy
just one knife to achieve that goal, what would it be?
Thanks for the advice
Jim

bone carving by
Yes, I want to try some. I've done soapstone and alabaster (much softer) but
I like the texture of the bone carvings I have seen. I thought I'd give it a
try. Chris
