Hi,
I have yet to ask my local timber yards, but I was wondering if anyone could advised me on where I can find a supplier for basswood as I would love to start giving wood carving a try. I've delved into the dear ol' google search, which amounted to not much in the way of basswood. I did find suppliers for wood turning, but they sold all sorts of lovely exotic woods, but not what I was looking for.
Alternatively, if there is a wood that's suitable for a beginner that's more readily available, please let me know!
