I would like to carve some wood panels for my tiki bar and have a few questions. 1” think common white pine is readily available but has any used 2” southern yellow pine? Is cedar even an option? I will probably use a combination of hand carving & router - also plan to burn/stain/paint some sections. Interested in SYP since it’s thicker and allows for a deeper carve but maybe 1” common would be fine. Any suggestions/recommendations? may cross post this in the tiki bar page on FB as well so you may see this twice… [ Edited by BambooYou on 2023-03-30 10:18:07 ] |

I’d grab a small piece of all your options and try them. That way you will find what wood you like working with and what carves the best for what you are making. |

Thank you for the response. I plan to experiment but it will require a bit of effort to secure some cedar. Do you think there is a noticeable visual difference between cedar & pine for an interior tiki bar? [ Edited by BambooYou on 2023-03-31 06:57:01 ] |

Ya man I do remember. If you're just doing trim, pine is soft , cheep & EZ to work with. You're most likely using a router. You can stain it or paint it to look like anything you want. Keep it simple, ya know, the KISS method |
