Since we are all starters in this threat so far, and we all seem to have the same problem finding decent logs. I will try and give some tips that worked for me and might help others.
- Tell everyone you know, you are carving wood. and if they know of any logs or trees that are gonna be
removed or trimmed to contact you.
- If you see someone cutting down a tree, don't be afraid to ask them for a piece or offer them to take
care of removing what they consider waste.
- Contact landscapers and tell them what you do and want. They often have to pay to make waste of the trees
they remove and are often happy to give it away for free or trade for a six pack.
- Smaller logs, branches and pieces of wood are easier to find and make great practice. Smaller pieces also
help you find your own style or at least determine what you like to carve before getting stuck in a
six foot log.
I found some of these tips here on TC others just happened in daily life.
Hope this helps anyone struggling to get some decent logs.
