Tupelo Wood Carving Stock

Tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), premier power carving stock, is cut “below the water line” by an experienced carver and logger. It is cream to light tan in color and great for detailing and texturing. Tupelo responds well to power-carving, with little fuzz-up. It is the preferred stock of most world champion wildfowl carvers in the United States and Canada. Additional uses include hand carving, furniture making, crate or box making, and utility wood.
