Meep... I think I might've just sold the last one... I want more wood! lol

Anybody happen to have some nice seasoned fruitwood (Lime, Pear, Apple etc..) they don't need? Preferably in 2" square lengths? >fi< LOL here's me living next to a forest, lots of wood available and I don't even have an axe to prepare it, all my tools bar the carving basics are in a container on the way to Aus!

:) I tried clay, wasn't that hot at it. It's sort of the opposite skillset to carving. With wood you take away anything that isn't on the desired carving, with clay you add to the base until you get what you want. Sometimes I wish I could add a bit back lol but no can do!
