I'm thinking of carving some cookie molds, and have seen apple, birch, and cherry wood recommended for that. Can these be carved with palm tools, or would I need full-size carving tools for ot. I have some Ramelson palm tools in the right sizes, but am wondering whether to get some full-size gouges in the appropriate sizes. Also, can anyone recommend other woods for this? I assume that basswood is too soft and that pine is too quirky and splintery. Thanks.
