[Woodcarver] Pine for carving

[Lloyd Smith]

Get your pine from as far north as you can, New England or from Canada.

The folks in Europe use pine for various carving.  I'm into acanthus style
carving, and would like to check out pine for a project, rather than the
normal basswood.  Does anyone have experience with this, and also a
recommendation for a source, hopefully in a price range I'd be willing to
pay.  The size would be 6/4 (rough cut) 24 inch long, and 4 or more inch
wide.
Thanks
Alex in Minnesota
