Ahoy ALL!

Having searched through numerous threads trying to find info on various types of preferred wood for carving, I thought it would be nice to organize some information into a thread that could easily be referred to for new carvers and those looking for new challenges.

Please tell your experience with the type(s) of wood you use(d), avoid, recommend, Pros/Cons, carvability, insects, cracking, wet vs dry, etc..

Palm
Pine
White Pine
Avacado
Walnut
Oak
Bass
Cherry
Willow
Redwood
Cedar
Ebony
Mahogany
Birch
ETC...
