Wood to avoid when sculpting large pieces?

Posted by admin
Jeff asked:


Have you ever sculpted/carved a large piece of furntiure?
I’d like to try sculpting a higback lounge chair with arm supports from a single piece of wood, but I have zero experience with this. Any tips, suggestions, useful links?
I would like to use maple, but not sure if it has the right characteristics. Want to avoid cracking, and any other ill effects over time.

      The heart out if possible before you start and that could mean waiting years take the surface any closedgrained timber should be dry before you start and that could mean waiting years take the surface any closedgrained timber.
      The surface any closedgrained timber should be fine.
