• Could well not be hardwood. Any suggestions for what would be a good wood to use?

    Edit: Easy to carve ideally, it's for my 8yo daughter to use. It's her new favourite pastime.

    Lino cutting would probably be good for her to try too

  • The easiest wood to carve is green wood - ie. freshly cut. Preferable something without too many knots in it.
    Birch, maple and hazel are all good sorts.
