[Woodcarver] spruce for carving??

[Bill Judt]

Merrilee:

One of my relief carving students undertook and small carving in  
spruce. I warned him of the difficulties he'd face with this wood, but  
he had good reason to choose it.  Actually, the carving turned out  
really well. But he was careful to not force the wood to hold too much  
detail, and he maintained VERY SHARP edges on his tools.

Blessings and Peace,

Bill

Good morning, All!
     I have a question .  Is spruce good for caving?  We had great  
winds through here last night and a friend had a spruce tree go down  
so he called and wanted to know if it were good for carving and did I  
want it.  I don't think I do because its in big pieces but maybe some  
of the other members of your club might.  So that's why I asked...   
Thanks for your invaluable information once again!
