 Need tips for a beginner Hey everybody! I've never carved anything except clay and I was looking to start a new hobby this summer. The only problem is that I have no idea where to start. I was hoping someone could help me out. What kind of wood should I start out on? Or better yet, what kind of wood is the easiest to start out on? ~n00b  |
