Question--how suitable is driftwood for carving? One of my brook trout lakes has an old stand of cedar that was flooded out when a dam was installed, and we've been taking a tree or two that's fallen over and washed ashore for easily processed firewood for years. I suspect I could scavenge some pretty easily, but it's been dead 50+ years and is bleached out and dried till the trunks are white.
[/font]Assuming it's hasn't started to rot what do you have to loose? If you can you cut a 3X4X6 chunk of clear (no heart) wood! Trace a head pattern and start whittling. I think you'll decide pretty quickly whether you want to mess with it or not. You may end up paying for you new hobby by supplying us all with head stock :^)
