Whitebeam


Recommended Posts

I've been asked to carve a Whitebeam stump (Sorbus aria) felled last autumn. I have no experience of Whitebeam and when I posted on facebook a couple of weeks back I didn't get any feedback about it. I understand its hard stuff. Does anyone have experience of info or opinion .... bit nervous of being a pioneer !!

it's tough stuff alright but i hope they realise it won't last more than 5 years or so.

 

should carve ok though and take nice detail.

 

give it a million coats of danish and it might last a bit longer.

 

another problem could be that it shrinks like mad, i lost 30mm off the width of a 14" bowl so it could tear itself apart as it dries.
