got bored had some ERC layin around
YosemiteBen:
My wife has been gettin me carving tools from Woodcraft.com They have a wide variety of carving tools. One of the most heavily used carvers is the crook knife - I have seen directions on making one on line and the first time I saw directions was in W.Ben Hunts guide to Indian Craft and Lore (also where I got plans for my first flute). Most recently I got a Scorp which is kind of like two crook knives welded together. There are also some very nice sweep gouges. Now, if only I had some real time to do some carving maybe some of my projects would get finished!

I love the color of cherry unfortunately I have no clue where I could find any cherry trees around where I live. Cherry sorta looks like ERC in color and seems to darken with use like ERC too. Its always a pleasure to see other carver's work.

if you want, i might be able to get you some pieces of black cherry, what type of pieces would you look for?

i would love to work with some black cherry unfortunately i dont have alot of things to trade right now all i have is some ERC and its not gonna make good bow material although it still works great for carving and maybe tip inlays or something although im not even sure it would be suited for tips.
