Bill,
I have been selling quite a bit of cedar carving blocks to other carvers around the country and also at some shows. His biggest hurdle will be finding a market for the other 95% of what he cuts because it wont be of high enough quality to carve. At least that is what I find with the mills I go to here. Most of them are cutting for trim and construction and when they get clear stuff they set it aside for me. Of course I pay a premium for it as well.

Hope that helps.
Brandon

I remember going to the mill by Krausman's and picking through about 100 4x8x8s to find 2 carving logs.
