Hey Larry,
I've found that if you keep it very wet. It'll carve
good with a knife.

I am a very new carver, about 8 weeks. I have an
excellent teacher in George Farrell.
I have recently been offered a small quanity of tupalo
scrops,some rather large.my question; can this wood be
used sucessfully for carving. I find it wanting to
crush under the knife.
