Hello all, first off, just want to say this place is awesome.
Well, I'm ready to lose my tiki virginity. Just received a massive 2 tools via Lee Valley. I" bent gouge & 3/8" parting, and already have a cheap chisel. I'm loaded huh.
I came across fresh cut Beech tree. The bark peels off easily...any carving suggestions on this wood?

Any, and all advice deeply appreciated...I've found no one locally with knowledge.
