Speaking about glueing up....

Hello,

Speaking about glueing up pieces of wood for carving. I was just wondering if anyone has ever glued up different kinds of wood together to carve? For example, glue up basswood, walnut, butternut and whatever else together and then carve it. I don't know what made me think of that but anyway is it even feasible to do. If so, I think it would kind of make an interesting piece on whatever the subject might be.

Please comment with opinion about this. Thanks,

think it would be tough to do in the transition from one wood to the other, like from a hardwood to soft or vice versa.....but suppose anything is possible!

I've done it quite often for doing turnings on a lathe, but never for carving. Makes nice bowls, vases, etc.

NO<NO<NO,,,NO>NO>NO> I ate several large swans, bass on bottom, buckeye on top,, hollowed out to reduce stress, and dried, well dried..Neat little crack on one side, big gap on other....At least the swans were high in fiber/low in calories,nad
