The Best possible wood for carving is Evergreen.
Many woodcarvers as do I use BASSWOOD, Its a soft tight grained wood which makes for its popularity. Its very easy to carve, Its true you can use most any wood. NOTE: (the harder the wood the harder to carve) And in some cases (With a knife almost impossible) With the onset of power tools such as grinders, diamond , cutz-all , and carbide bits the harder woods are used more. Good-Luck

∙ 12y agoDetermining the best or worst wood for carving, all depends on what you are carving. If the wood is too hard or too soft, it may be considered bad for carving. Generally speaking, harder woods like hickory are not good for hand carving details because of the hardness of the wood.
