    I use allsorts of timber. I'm using larch at the minute which is good to carve and finishes really nice. Ash is a nightmare for splitting quickly but this can add character to some pieces such as mushrooms. I would try using anything I can get my hands on to practice after all it can always go on the log pile as I know only too well. I was a groundsman when I started getting interested in carving and only used a standard bar to carve mushrooms, planters and benches but the carving bars certainly make all the difference.
