Tupelo responds well to power-carving, with little fuzz-up. It is the preferred stock of most world champion wildfowl carvers in the United States and Canada. Additional uses include hand carving, furniture making, crate or box making, and utility wood.Features: Clear white wood Great power carving stock, grinds in any direction without fuzzing Accepts paints and finishes well without requiring filler Tupelo is preferred by most of the world champion wildfowl carvers in the U.S. and in Canada Specifications: Thickness: 3" Width: 6" Length: 12" What's Included: (1) Tupelo - 3" x 6" x 12" Wood Carving Stock Notes: Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
