With the three things I carved they were all pine, but it was kiln-dried white pine. That Dremel is good for tiny details that a chisel would gouge. Keep those chisels razor sharp (I mean OILSTONE sharp-so sharp you could shave with them) and it makes life a lot easier, too. That may be part of the chipping problem....I don't know. Ask Gecko...the man is a true and consumate pro...I've seen his work and supposedly am getting some for Christmas.
