Hey, Matt here.

I've been sort of an off and on whittler for the past year and I'd like to get more into it in the near future. I'd, of course, really be into doing some Tikis. I do have one Tikigawd, a tiny thing for my desk, but I'd like to spread my wings.

Does anyone have advice on source materials, what kind of woods to use (I've been using basswook, a whittler's best friend) or how big I should start with?

Anything?
