The Hardest Wood: Best Types for Wood Carving and Carving Techniques
Some woods really test your patience. Take White Oak and Hard Maple, for example. They're like trying to carve a brick! Add tricky grain patterns, and your tools might veer off course. But don’t worry, I’ve got a soft spot for Basswood. It’s like a warm hug for your hands—soft and easy to mold. Remember, moisture matters too; too dry, it's fragile; too wet, and it’s mushy (think soggy bread). Balance is key for a smooth carving day.
