Hi Bob,  if one day you do decide to try it you might also want  to try 
candle oil.

I was talking with Mike Burton once and he was telling me about a place  
in Mexico where they would carve you anything you wanted out of pine.  
Then if you asked for something a little more detailed, they would carve  
you something out of pine. Then if you were really persistent, they  
would carve you something out of cherry. But before they carved it, they  
would apply kerosene...which made it much easier to carve. I haven't  
tried it myself, but I've thought about it. I carve mainly basswood  
right now, and don't need it.
