[Woodcarver] Re: carving wood

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

I have come across a couple of peices of some nice honduran mahogany and 
wonder if it is good carving wood.  Can I hand carve it or should I power carve 
it.  is it good to use for a relief or better for in the round type things.  
What would be a good finish to highlight the grain?   any other info on working 
with mahogany would be appreciated.  thanks
