What's been the progress on these large carvings?? I'm contemplating a large carving and trying to figure out what kind of wood to do it in.. I've only worked with Palm. Looking for deciduous trees in Ohio. I've seen the suggestions of White Pine, Walnut, Cherry and even Oak, but wondering the pluses and minuses of each? Is fresh White Pine sappy? I found this link of tree types in the area: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/forestry/trees/default.htm Any further advice and suggestions would be appreciated!
