Buzzy just read thru your thread. Your right that log's grain doesn't look like palm. Ficus - Good and bad things to say about that stuff, 1. Carve it when moist because that stuff dries to a very firm wood. 2. Ficus tends to grow over itself and that results in dead spots in the wood - use caution. 3. It has a beautiful grain and is a great carving wood - sometimes. All this is from messing with the hurricane, fallen trees of 2004-2005. |
