That could very well be! If it's any indicator, note the redish patina that occurred while aging the wood. It carves almost like pine, just chewier and flakier. The carving is coming along with ease as long as I sharpen chisels regularly. I'm using my Millers Falls set (non-mallot set with plenty of specialized blades) more than usual for the shallower cuts though deep cuts with the flat Marples set are pretty worry free.
