[Woodcarver] Carving Basswood eggs - Thanks

[Victor Hamburger]

To all who responded on my basswood egg question, thanks for the comments and 
the help!  The egg I did on the flat grain did indeed carve poorly, The next 
will be done on the side grain!

As far as wetting with water/alcohol,  thanks, but toughness wasn't the issue 
for me, just that the wood was crumbling and nothing short of a bath in super 
glue and letting it dry would stop that problem!  (part of the problem was that 
the egg was cut from the outer edge of the tree I think, there was a definate 
difference from one side to the other, hard and soft wood)

Thanks gang!  On to my next egg........
