The Cedar is so soft and carves like butter. The Beech, although much harder, has a short and even grain, and so yields to the chisel well.

Arab & Cocker.
Featured below are two recent carvings; one of an Arab horse in Cedar of Lebanon, and the other example a working Cocker spaniel in Beech.
The Cedar is so soft and carves like butter. The Beech, although much harder, has a short and even grain, and so yields to the chisel well.
I hope that these two give as much pleasure in the viewing, as they gave to me in the carving!
