[Woodcarver] Boxwood supplier

[RICHARD L ROMBOLD]

Don't do it!! stop right now, don't even think about it!!!! Once you start you can't stop. You aren't thinking about it now are you. etty-bitty critters on a leaf perhaps?  I have been carving them for about 5 years. I keep going back to the site and trying something new all the time. And it don't take much wood. One of these days I will get some pictures up of them.

  Ah Richard- did you have to go and post that link? Now I'm back to thinking about making netsuke, and it is all your fault. I kinda made one in mesquite back in 1991- before I knew how to carve. It is not one of my proudest carvings, but it does look like the cow calf pair I used as models. Mesquite is hard as a rock- and I was using X-Acto tools. Exercise in futility- but it helped me to get the A grade in Japanese Art History.

  I like to work small- and I like the forms of insects and small animals and vegetation- so you can see why I like netsuke a whole lot. 
  I even have a micro-motor tool now, so that would make it lots easier.
  Someday I will have to really give it a serious go-

  Hi Terry, Box wood is going to be hard to find And if you find some it's going to be expensive.
  Try some pear or apple wood. Here's a link for Netsuke carvers.

  If you would like some apple let me know, I have some that I use for carving them little critters.

    Hi gang,

    Im wondering if anyone knows of an Ontario or somewhere else in Canada that sells Boxwood.  I am going to be starting to carve some Netsuke and from what I am reading Boxwood hold the detail well in these small carvings.  Of course I will display my carvings to the group when I do some.  Thanks

    Terry
