[Woodcarver] Carving basswood egg question

[Rod TerMaat]

How does the water help.  I am a cross over woodworker - so misting with 
water seems like a no no.

Hi Vic,
 i haven't carved any basswood goose eggs, but i've worked mostly with red 
cedar and carve mostly in the round, for me it was whichever complemented 
what i wanted and made sure i had a really sharp knife. some breakage some 
not.

ps lightly spraying the wood with water also helps on breakage.

Hi,

I have a few basswood goose eggs to carve Santa heads.  I laid out my 
first one 
and it came out well.  I started a second one tonight and realised that I 
didn't 
know if you should center the face on the edge of the grain, or with the 
flat of 
the grain, or doesn't it matter?  (I started this one on the flat of the 
grain)

So, for all you basswood egg carvers, what is your preference for laying 
out 
faces on eggs with regard the to grain?

Thanks, Vic H
