Much more used friendly than I expected actually. AND...the suspense was killing me so I put a v-cut chisel to a chunk of one of the sunken logs, because I've been worried that if they're too hardened they might not carve well, but a flexcut V went through it like butter...not too easy that it seemed rotted, but definitely good and carve-able. And wow, the colors are pretty interesting to say the least... [ Edited by: pjc5150 2012-08-04 16:21 ]
