| Re: As a new carver in preparation, I'm wondering Green wood is easier to carve than dry.... But green wood may also crack on you. Most people seal the ends of the stick and let it dry for 1-2 years before carving. But heck, I would go for it just oil it down after carving it. Watco oil or tongue oil works well. 5 coats or sooooooo Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy it here. Greg |
