The Basswood piece is very nice but I'm with you, I HATE carving it. Mahohany is fairly stable. I have carved a Lot of the local SoFlo Mahog. It is very nice and can be carved fairly fresh. The piece starts out being very pinkish reddish and slowly turns to rust aver a few weeks. Just carve it. The butternut guy is really nice too. Better stop carving those big pieces or we will Never see any more pens. Looking foreward to seeing you at Hukilau. I won't have very much for sale but a few big guys, but I'll be there!
