    Default Hi from NSW Australia!

    Hi everyone i just joined this forum and thought id say hi.
    Im new to woodwork (apart from what i did at school) and im interested in getting into relief carving.
    Im an artist and i paint custom artwork on tattoo machine frames and also do canvas paintings, airbrush, tattoo designs ect ect. So i was hoping to be able to do some of my art on wood also.
    i have just purchased a flexcut set (hopfully ive made a good choice there?)
    What is some nice timber for a begginer to start out with? just something easy to work with so i can have a practice?
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum. If this just to practice then you can use pine.

    But I suspect that you would want to show off the piece you had created and I have been told that a good carving wood is Jelutong.

    From my perspective I have not done any carving.
