The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
Carving different woods can feel like a rollercoaster! Some, like White Oak and Ebony, are tough cookies—hard and tricky to manage. It's kind of like trying to carve with a rock instead of wood! Basswood is my go-to because it’s soft and friendly, almost like carving butter. Moisture also throws a wrench in the works; too dry, it cracks, too wet, it sags. Trust me, keeping tools sharp makes all the difference when tackling the challenge of these stubborn woods! The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
