In order to keep from chipping and cracking a carving it is important to keep cedar wet while working on a project. This is probably true for many woods. Consider keeping a carving project on saw horses and wetting the wood with a spray bottle. Then, between carving sessions, keep the wood covered with visqueen or some kind of plastic tarp.
