[Woodcarver] wood questions

Yep.....50-50 with alcohol and water.   spray on and let sit for a tiny bit and carve away.   Works great......

  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! 
  Merrilee
