Hello everyone, I am completely new to wood carving, and I’d like to source my wood locally (and preferably free!).. unfortunately I still have no knowledge about carving so I figured I would ask
1) so far I’m under the impression that we need to let wood dry out well (if it was freshly fallen)?
and 2) are any of the following wood types well suited for carving...
