[Woodcarver] What have you been working on?

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

I find aspen to be a very soft carving wood, so much so that I recommend it  
to my carvers because you can't get any basswood around my part of NYC.  It  
carves beautifully with sharp tools.  Perhaps its a bit more grainy than  
basswood but tends to crush less also.  My carvers report back to me and  say they 
really like the aspen.  I have a man who chips aspen all the time  and doesn't 
seem to have any problems doing it.  Perhaps you got a bad  piece or two or 
it is a different type of aspen in your part of the  country.  I dunno, go 
figure.
