[Woodcarver] Balsa Foam?

[Oregonkarver at aol.com]

The balsa foam I was told is a product a lot of sign carvers use because it 
 last a long long time when sealed properly.  I found I had to do most of  
the carving using power carver with a sanding drum on it, I did a little 
final  detail with knives.  Below is a couple of sites on the foam, I isn't 
cheap,  glad I got a 6x6x2 block for free.
I posted some pics in the woodcarving illustrated message board under the  
new projects.

It  has been quite the last few days hasn't it.  Been at the beach where  
internet connection is SLLLLLOOOOWWW.  I did carve a Santa out of Balsa  
Foam, a neighbor had a small piece he was going to throw away so I took it for  
some fun.

Hi

I  just changed my email address for receiving messages from the list and I 
 have not received any for the last two days.  I am wondering if there  is 
something wrong with my account or is it just really quiet out  there?
