Couple of questions on wood selections for decoy stock. Met a guy that is a sunken log logger, he bases his operation out of a property I have access to hunt. He mostly gets fir and rarely gets a pine log. He does have an old growth Western Hemlock siting on his barge and would get me a chunk if I wanted. So my questions are:
Does anyone have experience carving W Hemlock? I do know the dust is bad like western red cedar.
Does anyone have experience with preparing waterlogged wood for carving. I'm assuming I can just cut it up, seal the ends and wait a long time.
Thanks,
Paul John
