The only way to carve them is to hollow out the stinky goo. The best way to use the royal is to cut it in half, gut the inside leaving a 'C' shape outer shell. The shell is very nice to carve and will hold detail nicely. Masks are about the only thing you can make out of them. I have made some nice masks out of them, but when given the choice i perfer not to use them. Hope this helps. [ Edited by: loki 2006-08-25 16:52 ]
