What wood should I use to carve a cup? In australia

lundi 10 novembre 2014

Hi all. I stumbled across this forum looking up what type of wood I can carve myself a cup from, like a kuksa cup. I've never carved anything before so I don't know what type of chunk of wood to start with and if it's safe for daily use or if it's going to slowly poison me to death haha. I think they use birch overseas. I don't really care if it has a branch for a handle or not.



Guessing ill need more than a tomahawk and a chisel?



Im wondering if I have to start with fresh wood, I'm wanting to just treat it with some olive or grape oil and some whisky, no laquers. I'm in brisbane and only one place really showed up that looks like it might have chunks, lazarides? I'm sure there's others, just don't know much yet.



any info would be appreciated



cheers
