Carved Wood
A good wood guide for woodwork carving
Wood carving is a wonderfully fulfilling and exciting area of woodworking,but only,if you choose the right wood.When 1 first started carving,I had in mind to carve a female torso,a Venus.I'm sure you know what I mean,a bit like Marilyn Monroe,but more so.Though my teacher told me to use lime,when I arrived at the wood yard and saw the astronomical prices,1 was swiftly talked into buying—at a quarter of the price of lime—a massive piece of I-don't-know-what.
Well,when 1 got my"bargain"wood back to the work-shop,it was a nightmare.The wood was green and wet,it was lull of iron-hard knots,it started to warp and split the moment I started carving,it made my tools rusty,the grain was wild and twisted—I could continue listing its terrible qualities.Yes,I did manage to finish my carving,but at what cost to my strength and sanity?It was truly awful,a sort of mad mix-up between Marilyn Monroe and a glandular Guernsey!
The moral of this sad little tale from my teenage yearsis there are no shortcuts,and there are very few bargains.You must use a piece of good wood.The following listingwill help you on your way:
Alder—A sapwood tree common in low-lying areas.Awood traditionally used by North American Indians andearly settlers,it is especially good for bowls and generalkitchenwares.
American Whitewood—Known variously as tulipwood,basswood,canary wood,and many other names besides,this is a soft,easy-to-carve wood.
Apple—A hard dense,close-grained fruitwood,it comesin small sizes,carves well and takes a good polish.Appleis traditionally used for small items of treen(wooden-ware),and for kitchenwares.
Beech—A heavy,relatively easy-to-carve wood that has ayellow-gold sapwood and a reddish heart.Beech is partic-ular!good for carved furniture.
Boxwood—A beautiful,pleasant-smelling,butter-smooth wood that is extremely hard and close-grained.If you want to carve items like jewelry,hair combs,small dishes and boxes,then boxwood is a good choice.
Cedar—Pencil Cedar is a favorite wood for carving.It cuts to a clear pink-brown finish.
Cherry—American cherry is a close-grained,hard-to-work,reddish brown wood that comes in relatively small widths.It carves well and can be brought to a wonderful high-shine finish.
Hickory—Straight-grained with a white sapwood and reddish brown heartwood,hickory is often the first choice for large sculptural carvings.

What's the reason for that old ships wood created figurehead?
...and how about we modern ships ask them to?
" Decorative shipcarving was among the trades that prospered in shipbuilding regions within the nineteenth century. Figureheads communicated a feeling of wealth that reflected positively about the vessel's proprietors and contractors.
It had been the appearance of wooden ship's bows that determined if the decoration will be a full figure, half-length or merely a bust. Sometimes, only an ornament was selected. Once the shipowner purchased a spead boat, he made the decision whether he'd purchase a figurehead. If he did, many figures might illustrate the shipowner themself, his wife or children Famous people, mythological figures, and loyal styles were typically the most popular subjects.
The carving was put into the bow to ensure that its eyes may find the way in which and also the positive qualities, directly or not directly,further the objective of your way.Inch http://world wide web.schoonerman.com/figureheads.htm
"The standard art of figurehead carving, like a commercial trade had stopped to become viable from round the finish from the nineteenth century, using the steady decline of traditional sailing ships to steam, though not entirely lost being an talent, the carving of ships figureheads has it’s own particular areas of construction and problems unique to designs and carvings in wood of the size and employ.Inch http://world wide web.figureheads.co.united kingdom/almost_lost_art.htm
I suppose you could state that superstition and self promotion turned into progress about the ocean with losing the figureheads.
