Thank you for the information. I don't know what my friend plans to do with it besides leave it in chunks for big carving maybe. I'll tell them about the relief and the sharp tools though just in case. Thank you, Bill!<BR>

<DIV>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.<BR>

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!<BR>Merrilee<BR><BR>
