Viburnum Tinus - suitable wood for carving?

Post by commanda »

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Viburnum Tinus wood is suitable for carving? Or is it one of those soft woods that will eventually rot away no matter what you do with it?

The particular plant in question is quite old, a suburban yamadori. The trunk currently tapers from 3 inches to 2 inches where it was flat chopped.
