Ejames,
I have used different types of woods but the Dogwood was the easiest to carve
and sand.I would like to use Brier but when I start out with a picture or drawing
on the block , it does not turn out what I realy wanted. Seems I have a mirror type brain.
What I see and than the brain tells my hands to do things come out backwards.
soooo i just start than let the it flow how ever so if I make a miss cut than
no problem-work around it and do another shape.
Joe
