DAE still whittle little animals from firewood scraps?

I found that soaking the wood in water for a bit makes it easier to carve, just like my grandpa showed me.

Yeah, soaking the wood is the move. It's not a hassle, it's a basic prep step that stops the piece from fighting you. It's like what val518 said about their floor, that overnight soak made the job possible. I see this everywhere, people skipping the small prep that makes the actual work way smoother. My whole life, the best results come from that extra bit of patience at the start, whether it's wood, cooking, or even letting grout set right.

Seriously, is it really worth the extra hassle of soaking wood first?

Our crew had a maple floor cup on us last year... an overnight soak before staining made all the difference.
