Green Hardwood Pieces

[Alex shipp]

Does anyone have a source for green (newly cut, not color) hardwood pieces I could use for spoon carving? Less than 3 months seasoned preferred, and I’d like to avoid open grain woods.

You might try Swift River Pecans in San Marcos. They cut, process, and sell local lumber, they may have some green stuff for you.

Why new wood?  does it not crack when drying if carved?

Thanks

I had one toy as a kid and it was a stick with a holey sock tied to it.

Green wood is just much easier to carve. As long as you carve the spoon to a correct uniform thickness, it shouldn’t crack in the open air seasoning process.
