Default Avocado wood green
Hi, I'm new to this board, but I have read all the beginner posts and could not find anything about avocado wood. A friend offered me 14 green stumps to carve if I wanted them. So my question is , do I? Any one ever carve avocado wood? Thanks Amy

I suggest you try a little first; if you don't like it, you can always
'have it on the side'

Get it? 'Guacamole', avocado, on the side? Oh well,

I still suggest you try a little before committing to 14 stumps.
