Hi there,
I am beginning a series of projects that will involve carving into model board/foam board, to create relief wall panels. I want to carve them by hand, using something like a lino cutter. Can you recommend the best kind of board to use and do you have any knowledge about cutting tools I could use?

Thanks!
David

PU240 Medium Density Model Board is the densist model board i would choose for hand working.  You could go lighter but it will effect surface detail so it depends on the precision you need.

The board can be worked by hand with simple tools even down to sandpapers and sanding blocks.

Great, thanks for your help. Can I use tools such as chisels and wood tools on this board?

You can just be careful initially until you get the "feel" as foam behaves differently to wood.
