 Ceder and woodsprit Ive seen a lot of wood sprits in the last few days and I have some Red Ceder logs very dry. How well will this carve by hand; is it worth the effort or not ? And the best place to learn on net.

 Re: Ceder and woodsprit Sounds to me like a great place to start woodspirits. Most of my carvings are in white cedar but I love red cedar and have carved it quite a bit. Cedar is a little hard on the tools you will have to hone them from time to time but carving it should be great. Colin

| Re: Ceder and woodsprit Red cedar makes outstanding wood spirits especially when you get into the heart wood so that parts of the face are white and parts red.
