Randy http://nokeswoodworks.com I've done a couple of relief and some in-the-round carvings in cherry and I really like it. I'm currently planning a 20x24 inch relief carving in some cherry that I recently obtained. Cherry is a fairly hard wood that holds great detail, though it does tend to splinter a little. You will need decent tools and they will need to be very sharp. Dull tools greatly increase the risk of splintering. HTH Bill (Aiken, SC |
