The right wood for wood carving

The choice of wood is a key factor in sculpture. Different types of wood allow for different forms of expression and working methods.

• Linden wood – soft, dimensionally stable and ideal for fine details
• Swiss pine – pleasant to work with, with a characteristic scent
• Alder – uniform grain for medium-sized sculptures
• Maple – harder, more precise and durable for delicate work

All woods offered are air-dried or kiln-dried, have few cracks and grow evenly – perfect for demanding wood carving work.
