Default Question on newly-cut pine
Hi all,

I would like to try my hand at chainsaw carving. I have a huge inventory of pine trees on my property so I have free wood!

My question is related to taking down some pines and using them immediately in order to start carving critters.

Can anyone tell me specific wood preparation tips? Can I just start carving, or do I need to prep the pine with something prior to carving? Or do I just carve, and then treat it with something (need to know specifics on the something to treat with)?

Thanks muchly. I am a retired person looking for an interested hobby.
