Re: forum very difficult to use

I hope we get this back to comfortable. It\\\\\\\'s been awhile. I further hope that the SSW&C doesn\\\\\\\'t follow this way anytime soon. Sorry to say that WCI is dropping from my normal routine. I want to see New s. P O S T S

Re: What wood next?

Thanks, I have done them in basswood, and a ball in cage in butternut.

maple and cherry? Have not tried either yet but I have a piece of cherry. Is not maple very hard?

I\'ve carved in basswood, butternut and cottonwood bark in my first two years.

i\'d like to try some different (nicer?) wood for some things like captive rings, chains and the like. What woods do you suggest that are not too difficult to work?

Re: I give up!

Re: Borromean Rings

I have this project underway in basswood. Love that book! What great pics though some give me a headache! Will post pics when done.

Re: Butz knives

The tip of my detail knife also snapped off. That was a great lesson as a new carver in reshaping and sharpening!

Re: Butz knives

Love my Butz knife, but dull as &;:! When I got it. Good lesson in sharpening!
