>>392506Fruit trees are normally pretty good to work with I find. I like Cherry. It help if the stuff you;re using is fairly green and that crook knife needs to be damn sharp too. Like sharper than the Mora ones come from the factory...
If you think it'd help you could try making a load of shit from softwoods like Pine or Larch. They're not really suitable for use as utensils so much but they're good to practice getting your eye in. I spent a while doing them like that and just leaving weird little spoons bowls and rough figures dotted around the forest. I know, I'm a faggot but it kind of appealed to me.
