does anyone know anything abourt butternut ::)

Looks similar to walnut, but lighter in color and in weight, and softer.  It can be used like any other hardwood for building furniture, but where it really shines is for carving, since it cuts so easily.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
