 What type of wood? What is "Kingwood". I live in Ottawa, Ontario. Canada, and have never heard of it. I was looking at a stylized hummingbird in The Art of Stylized Woodcarving and the picture said it was carved from Kingwood. I have lots of lcoal access to basswood, walnut, cherry, butternut. Which might be closest to Kingwood? Thanks for any help.  |
