[Woodcarver] "Free Spirit" relief carving - Thanks and more information

[Bill Judt]

Alex:

Yellow Birch is much like white birch, but with a slight color  
difference.
You will enjoy working in it. Just make sure you find a board that has  
steady grain, not grain that ripples along the length of the board.
Yellow birch is always part of my lumber inventory.

Blessings and Peace,

Bill
