Karen,
I have and you can have them. They are fine for practice carving but are very crumbly. Our "Camping in CT" hitchhiker is carved from this material and we are afraid it will not last very long. If your stamp design is not too ornate or detailed they will suffice but I'd stick to the pink speedball stuff or the mars eraser type material.

Try the Nasco Safety-Kut version of carving material. I have found it
very easy to carve, smooth, and does not crumble. You can either buy
large sheets or precut blocks. Great stuff!
