I'm in the middle of carving a piece of aspen and was wondering if anyone else has ever carved this kind of wood.
What I'm seeing is (and I hope you understand) when the cutting bit is climb milling (going from right to left towards keypad) it looks like it's leaving a bit of a rough finish, but then when it reverses and conventional mills it leaves a very smooth looking surface and the chip that is coming off looks like something from a jack plane. My bit is somewhat new but was wondering if this is common on aspen. Thanks in advance.
