[Woodcarver] Thank you

re: "And any idea what garden-variety lumberyard wood is best for fooling
around
with (for relief carving) until I can get some basswood?"

Try Aspen, Oak, Walnut, Birch. Big home improvement stores should carry
these woods. You'll need to have very sharp tools.  Good luck.  Old Joe
