Hey everyone! I'm completely new to woodcarving and just got my first knife (a Mora 120), which I'm super excited to use. While I was out walking my dog, I stumbled upon a piece of freshly cut redwood, and I'm curious if I can carve something from it. I know it's typically recommended to start with basswood, but I'd love to avoid buying wood if I can carve something I found outdoors. What's the deal with carving greenwood? I've heard that it can be tricky and might crack or split as it dries. Any advice or insights? I'm considering whether it'd be better to wait for it to dry before carving, but I've read that could take years. Thanks a ton for your help!
