Has anyone carved this stuff? I ran across a sign-maker on the web who
uses it extensively for hand-carved outdoor signs.

It looks like it would be cheaper and more stable than wood outdoors and
they're working it with hand tools.

[There are quite a few varieties of high-density urethane; some are quite
expensive, like Renshape from Ciba. They do carve easily, but I'm not sure
about long-term exposure outdoors. If you know of a source that's cheaper
than the common softwood species, please post it here. This material is
favored for CNC carving, since it's grainless and cuts cleanly; I could use
some myself...]
