my gouges are sharp, i’m thinking the wood is maybe too dry. but i’d prefer to not scrap the project completely, all of the planks are doing it tho

i found this in a pile of firewood, i think it’s beech, the initial grain was mesmerizing. i tried carving with the grain, thus the random leaf spiral, but i think i carved away some of its nicest parts, i know there are more layers of marbling but im worried of going too far, also how can i keep it stable to stop splintering, im still debating on which leaves k want connected, so that why its blobby
