The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
Some woods can be a real pain to carve. Hardwoods like White Oak, Hard Maple, Olive wood, and Ebony can test your patience. They’re tough and stubborn (like a mule on a mission). On the flip side, Basswood is my go-to! It’s soft, forgiving, and easy on the tools, making it perfect for beginners. Moisture and grain can also play a big role. The wrong combo can turn your carving into a wrestling match—trust me on that! The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
