It's a hardwood but I've never carved it. Has a nice bark. It's also the state of Oklahoma's designated tree!

I have some redbud trees in my yard, in Ohio. We transplanted them 11 years ago and they still aren't more than 3" in diameter. So, yes they are hardwood, by definition, and they have fairly long and skinny branches that look like they'd make walking sticks, but I've never tried to carve it. Mike
