Good Afternoon all!<BR> 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! <BR>Merrilee <BR><BR>
