Try Last-A-Foam, from General Plastics
(http://www.generalplastics.com/produ...il.php?pid=19&). It's
relatively inexpensive, comes in various sizes and densities, and can be
laminated together to form larger blocks.

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.
