has anyone ever tried chip carving pine or any carving in general? is pine easyto carve? thanks...

While, I'm not a real carver by any streach of the imagination, I've found that the growth rings in pine make carving rather tricky, as the density of the wood is constantly changing.

Nitpicking, when you get to my age spelling is no longer a big deal, now survival that can be a problem.(G) Also check with the SWMBO wether there is such a tree available nearby.
