[Woodcarver] ;Help with gouge

[Bill Judt]

Dick:

The most popular wood I know is Basswood <grin>

Poplar is a sturdy wood... at least in the variety I purchase locally.  
It is softer than birch and harder than basswood, and carves well.  
Don't expect it to hold the same detail as birch or maple, though.

Blessings and Peace,

Bill
