Choosing the right wood for you:
Lime wood is ideal for newcomers to woodcarving as it is much softer and easier to carve than Oak. Pale, creamy white in colour, Lime cuts cleanly and quickly with a sharp knife.
Oak wood is suitable for all woodcarvers but is significantly harder and more dense than Lime. Ranging from grey-ish brown to muted red in colour, Oak is perfect for carving fine details and delicate elements due to the density of its grain.
Please note:
Although every effort has been made to select the best possible wood for the carving kits we cannot guarantee that the wood is entirely free from natural flaws and splits and its colour will naturally vary from that displayed in the product images.
All images are for illustrative purposes only. The finished carving is not included… that’s down to you! The finished carving is shown only as a suggestion of what you may achieve with this carving kit. How you carve it and how much detail you add is up to you.
