Woodcraft Carving Stock Tupelo 4" X 4" X 12" 1-Piece

Nice and straight, well squared!

The wood was very soft like I expected it to be, the only thing I was disappointed about was there was a large section of the wood block that had a knot in it which made the wood very hard and unable to carve, the knot was about half of the block... I understand wood has hard spots due to these knots but if your going to sell wood used for carving, quality control on the wood is absolutely needed. Had to throw away half of the block since it was unusable. With that being said that was the only bad part of it, the other half of the block worked very very, and I mean very well! Only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because of half of it was unusable. If it was all usable it would have gotten 5 stars! I used it to make fishing lures and the useable section was what all wood carvers could hope for! Will buy again to see if I can get another block that all is usable! Will update review once I receive the new one

This block of wood had very rough cuts and one side wasn’t squared off. For the price, I would have expected smother and more precise cuts.

Good quality

Wood a bit dry, very dusty while working it but did achieve what I wanted to achieve with my carving tools

I am an avid wooden bird carver and I use power toolsfor all of my bird carvings, the block of tupelo I purchasedfrom you was hard as a rock, after several attempts tocarve, I just threw it into my firewood bin.
