The grain can twist and turn, making your tools act wobbly. Moisture matters too—too dry, and it's like carving glass; too wet, and it’s like mush. Seriously, I prefer Basswood. It's soft, has a good grain, and doesn’t fight back—much easier on my hands and sanity! The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
