I picked up a 1x1 at a carving show last January. My 10 yr old daughter wanted to learn to carve. We didn't get to far on the spirt face unfortunately. She's always right there when I turn though. Now you given me some ideas on mixing the 2. Gotta sell the idea to her.
That turned out nice. I just had a cousin give me a large log of basswood and didnt know what to do with it. Nice idea. Now, only if I could carve. lol
