Its softness makes it ideal for both novice and experienced carvers, as it can be easily manipulated with carving tools.

Furthermore, quality dried wood with moisture content below 10% is particularly advantageous for carving. This low moisture content ensures that the wood is stable and less prone to warping or cracking during the carving process. Carving into dry wood also results in cleaner cuts and finer details, as the wood is less likely to compress or deform under pressure. Therefore, working with properly dried lime wood not only facilitates smoother carving but also enhances the longevity and quality of the finished carved piece.
