All the ole man,(a master carver) told me, was is must be dry, and preferably free of knots for nice mantles and the like, he did say, knots show character, but bring difficulties in the finish product,  he does more than mantles for sure, Native Americans, Animals of all sorts, just a show of quality, but it begins with carve able wood,  invasive or not, management is a requirement for most everything,  david
