Hello my name is Vania, I love working with wood. I just started around Dec of last year. I love to draw, paint, take pictures I use my picture for my wood work. I'm going to get some wood we'll be cutting down this weekend. Do anyone know what type should i look for.

Hi Vania ,

Thats a hard question to answer. Without knowing what you want to do with it.

But welcome to the Site .

Hello Vania,

Like Ash said...depending what you wish to carve may determine your choice of wood. I find the staple for many carvers is basswood but provide some details and you may get more feedback to consider.

Hi, and welcome. What type of carving do you want to learn?
I think a good all around wood is 'basswood' it's kind to beginning carvers and Advanced carvers alike.

Hi Vania, and welcome. I'm new to woodcarving too, but love it more each day. What kind of wood to you have in your area? I got some Rocky Mountain cedar from a friend and I am enjoying working with it. Basswood is recommended a lot, although if you're not going to paint it, the wood itself, I think anyway, isn't very interesting. Still, I've been using it and it's easy to carve, at least the good stuff. Good luck, and welcome again.
