I've been carving for about a year now and thought it was time to try something other than basswood. So my first order of butternut got delivered today: 1x1's, 3x3's, and a 4x4.
I am quite surprised to find that ever piece in the order is riddled with worm holes and a few knots. Is this normal for butternut? I'd heard it is a joy to carve but frankly I'm disappointed.
Thanks.
Tom
