[Woodcarver] Alder

[Ray Mighells]

Hi Doug,  I've done a few pieces of the Northwest Coast Indian style. They can bee seen at:  http://www.PictureTrail.com/razaxnstuff.  Fox Chapel has some decent books on the subject.  Western Red Cedar and Yellow Cedar are more commonly used than Alder.  Generally you can use whatever is available unless it is for a specific purpose.  Basswood works well.  Have fun, Ray Mighells
