Hi,
I haven't carved on wood since I was a kid making a derby racer, but I decided I wanted to start up again. I haven't even touched a knife to wood yet, and I have a first question.
Does it matter what type of wood I am using right now? My thoughts are that there are a lot of basics I need to learn, and there is a lot of scrap wood around the house, ie, firewood, etc, so I can't see buying a nice piece of wood when it will probably end up in the fireplace anyway.
Is any type of wood okay?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Mike
