[Woodcarver] Wednesday Woodcarver Chat

[Roland Surette]

Hi all,

I'm new to this and still learning. Have a question for anyone who would
care to respond. I'm getting ready to start a relief carving. The plans
suggested I use white birch but I was unable to get it. I purchased and made
my panel out of yellow birch. So far all I have done is use the router to
get a few of the depths right. Haven't started to use the chisels yet. What
do you think? Is it worthwile to try and finish it off or not. I know that
this is a pretty hard-wood. Any opinions on if I should try to continue or
not? I realize that I should of probably attempted something more simple
with a chunk of basswood to start but what the heck, I just dove in. Did I
bite off more than I can chew here or what?
