>Yellow birch (also known as Eastern Birch) is very similar except for color 

>and density. It is an EXCELLENT wood to carve in. And it is by no means a 

>difficult wood to carve, unless you compare it to Basswood. Yellow birch is 

>a medium-hard wood. A REALLY hard wood is Hickory, or Hard Maple. If you 

>use a mallet for the heavy cuts you will find the wood quite manageable.
