LOL! I have visions of someone de-rusting an old car in their kids'
paddling pool :-)

Thanks, Clive! I'll check in the garage for some wet and dry...

Hello all,

I was wondering if you might take a few minutes and checkout a website I have been working on.
It is http://www.icehouse.net/cjpiers/ .
I still have to put in text information like size and medium and some "personal info/artist statement" but I was hoping you all would let me know what you think of the general organization, navigation and images.
Any thoughts would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Connie P

Hi Holly,

Maria Arango has given you all the answers you need about finding good wood,
but I wanted to say hi and welcome to Baren Forum, as I live very close to
you alma mater.

Best,
Annie Bissett in Northampton MA

Hello from another, and very much actual newbie.

As far as wood goes, I think another poster has addressed all the major
internet-available options. The only one I can vouch for at this point is
the shina that McClains sells. It's quite soft, cuts very easily and the
all-shina variety holds thin edges relatively well. If you're looking for
very detailed work it might not suit you, though. The shina plywoods are
pretty economical, but the underlying mahogany is somewhat difficult to
carve against the grain.

Cheers,
Dan
