[Woodcarver] Softwood or Hardwood

[OLD JOE]

My favorite woods all seem hard with dull tools, or soft with sharps.

Favorite woods for carving are: Catalpa (Catawba in South) for horses, 
cowboy and Indian busts, American Linden (Basswood) for anything I can 
carve, Butternut for love spoons, Red Cedar for Indian and Mountain Man 
Busts, White Pine for less detailed Santas and small figures, air dried or 
kiln dried. Old Joe
