[Woodcarver] Black Walnut

[Byron]

Some people use a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol sprayed onto the wood to soften.

I'm working with a large piece of walnut and I realize it's hard ,but it seems to be getting harder? Is there any way to soften(wet) this piece or is sharp tools and mallet my way through? Have to keep a close eye on the grain for checking too. THX...Doug Neely
