John,
I wouldn't recommend Sugar Pine for chip carving.

Sugar pine is fairly difficult to get, even here where it grows.

Why is sugar pine so hard to find now. When we got our big pieces about 25 years ago I seem to remember having lots to choose from9 or maybe its old age and wishful thinking)

My first guess would be govt restrictions, environmentalists again!...probably the same with the butternut....but never fear, we have lots of rocks down here for you to carve on!Cowboy
