[Woodcarver] Black Walnut

[Mike Bloomquist]

Doug,
A 50/50 mix of denatured alcohol and water in a spray bottle has been a popular solution here. Personally,  I haven't tried it <yet>, but have friends at the local clubs who swear by it... as apposed to swearing AT it <the wood>.  Remember this is not the drinkable alcohol... save THAT bottle for celebrating the finished product, you'll deserve it ;-).

Keep on Carvin'
-Mike B.->

  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
