[Woodcarver] Whatchacorven????????????????

[Bill Judt]

Mike:

The wood was white birch, kiln dried. As hard as white oak, and just  
as tough to carve.
Usually white birch is easier to carve... softer and less reluctant  
to accept a tool cut... but the last batch I bought was HEAVY and  
HARD. It makes for excellent carvings though... you just have to do  
more mallet work.
