Default Carving green wood
I have my green wood, felled Monday.

Any tips as to how long I can treat it as green wood, and if I carve spoons from it, how do I store "work in progess". In plastic bbags?

The one problem I had carving green woodis that my tools got very sticky so do what you can to prevent that

I got this yes you can and should carve green wet wood its fine it will be fine. Ok wood workers will tell you this and and that. I know you cant saw planks and make a door or table out of green wood! But free style carving yes I do, if your tools get sticky could be the type of wood you are carving. I carve green wet oak it feels like water spraying from Saburr Tooth burrs no problems. If you are carving fine art sculpture like Ian Norbury green wet wood wont get the job done. But for what most of us do yes its fine.
