[Woodcarver] cypress knees

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

You can carve a cypress knee either wet or dry but I would try it a bit 
dryer.  You can boil the cypress knees in order to remove the skin/bark easier.  
Boil it and as soon as it is cool enough to be handled but still fairly hot, you 
can simply peel the bark off.  Let most of the moisture dry up and then go to 
town.  They are wonderful to carve.  Enjoy.
