[Woodcarver] Light plate switches

[Larry Marshall]

> Carving from the heart-side of the piece results in less curling then carving on the sap-side of the piece. Also picking a piece where the grain (growth ring when looking at the end grain) has very little curve (toward the outside of a very large log), helps minimize curl. 


Thanks for that, Joe.  I guess I should have said "how do you do 
minimize it beyond careful wood selection."  Only some small subset 
of the wood we get falls into the class you've described so well. 
Using the rest for firewood is against my frugal disposition (grin).
