[Woodcarver] wood questions

[Merrilee Johnson]

Good Afternoon all!

  I am in need of your great knowledge concerning wood.  I am carving a welcome sign on basswood that has wormholes in it (I like the look :) so that's not the problem) but it is terribly dry and crumbly.  Is there any way to rejuvenate it so it's easier to carve or am I doomed to pick it until it falls apart?  Thank you all in advance for your great words of wisdom!
