I was searching for info on differences in hardness between air dried and kiln dried wood and found this wonderful site. I've been a member of a local woodcarving group (Oglebay Woodcarvers) for about 35 years but had to give it up years ago due to a change in jobs. Now retired, I decided to get back into it. Here are some recent projects (Santas, cottonwood bark).

Another shot of more Santas. I did about 20 or so this season. Air dried basswood was much easier to carve.

And one from the past - a girl I worked with and her newborn son, from a photo.
