How does butternut compare to basswood or pine for carving? There's an auction this weekend and one of the things up for auction is some rough cut butternut. I don't know how much or the dimensions but I thought I'd find out if it's worth bidding on.
I started with white pine and switched to basswood. I'm happy with basswood but am willing to expand my horizons if it's not going to frustrate me. Also, I've heard that harder woods should be worked with tools with a different bevel. Would I be able to work butternut with the same tools I use for basswood?
thanks,
