Wet birch don't, wouldn't bother mate, it suffers with some kind of fungus, which takes over the carving, fair enough it does not split badly, however, better to use some good chestnut, if available, always a winner, carving time is hard work, best not to waste time

Andrew frost http://www.treeart.co.uk Great carver!

Just finished this in Brentwood, Essex, thanks to the tree surgeon who suggested my name.
