| Re: New Member Greg Nice job on your first try Greg. Keep carving away and you will be amazed how much you improve each time. Try to get a hold of some basswood, it works great for beganing carvers. Keep your wits and knives sharp.

| Re: New Member Greg Hello, and WELCOME! whittling certainly would be a good choice and it looks like you have a good start. Try some basswood I think you'll enjoy the ease with which it carves. For basswood I like http://www.heineckewood.com/ good prices, fair minded businessmen. Kathy
