I got inspired by Rafael Herrera’s thread on an oilstone box and decided to whip one up for a loose stone I have. I grabbed a couple pieces of red cedar from the bonepile, perfectly quarter sawn and with exceptionally tight growth rings. I’ve always loved the look of cedar, but it’s so soft I have a tough time with chisel work, especially on the end grain. It wants to collapse and tear before cutting, even using freshly honed tools. Any tips to share for working soft wood? Is it just a matter of lighter cuts and shallower grind angles?
