Default Got my CarveWright Last Week

Got my CarveWright last Friday. Got it set up and was carving some simple items that I had downloaded patterns for by Saturday afternoon.

Have access to scraps of some poplar, a little maple and small amounts of oak. Any thoughts on which ones carve best?

Hi oclatta

Maple works well and Polar works fine also but I would suggest you not use Oak,
it likes to split/splinter, but I would suggest that you save your good hardwood and use some nice pine without knots for your test out work...

Pls.post some snapshots of your projects..

Also here's great place to get some great bits...
