If anyone wants some walnut to carve I have several blocks of it that has been laying out for a year or two.

Shameless, was it Basswood? That's a good carving wood and is whitish...

Ted...he does use basswood on some stuff, but uses 2 other kinds most of the time. I guess depending on what you are carving, is what you use the different types of wood for.
