Bottom line .. the material used, reclaimed Mahogany, is unsuitable for woodblock carving. Main problem is carving cross-grain, the wood proved to be; “crumbly” and could not support fine detail. Any other accolades in regards to the material/wood, salvaged mahogany,would be redundant.
Multiple carving tools etc. tried with no luck.
PS. carving with the grain is a treat .. smooth and easy to control.
