Best material for 3D carving.. - Vectric Customer
2017年6月26日 · I find the most dense closed grain and plain grained wood to be best - for wood that is. Hard Maple is my choice.

HDU on the other hand is a GREAT material for carving - especially if it is painted

What Woods Work Best for PhotoVCarve? - Vectric Customer
2020年5月9日 · Pine is out, in my opinion. Probably cedar and other softwoods, too. I had thought Maple would work well, and it has a few times, but I've had problems with contrast in dark and light. I put sealer and stain on it, which helped some, but I concluded that there surely must be a wood that is naturally more suited for photovcarving.
