Pine is fine for carving
Ash is nice too (good and soft)
as a matter of fact...you can carve anything you can get you hands on.
For your first carvings - you may want to go with softer woods, they're easier on the hands. Just make sure your chisels are sharp - and have fun!
anyone else want to chime in with first time carver wood suggestions?
