It's supposed to be the easiest wood to carve for beginners, and it does carve quite nicely if you get the right variety. I bought some poor quality basswood off a no-name Amazon brand and it was quite tough.

Basswood. Got it off a guy on eBay.

Just the one knife - a flexcut roughing knife (KN14). I followed dywoodcarving on YouTube for the chick, and made the Tux by myself.

I long ago moved to a pair of 4TB hdds and recently upgraded to a pair of 16TBs

 

It's a low bar to make the California flag better, but I woke up and decided to give it a go. It's my first attempt. Let me know what you think

 

Most of the others do, so it must be something small.

I posted this to Reddit a few years ago.

I followed Paul Sellers' method, but used a 2x3 Douglas fir for the material. It turned out quite heavy and durable.
