Could you please respond to the above comment about how CNC carving results in movement in seasoned wood, but hand chisels are different. I've also always understood that there is a difference between kiln dried wood and seasoned air dry wood when it comes to stability. That is, that dryness is not the only reason to use seasoned wood. There are certainly lots of fancy grained stocks being hand carved without the necessity of additional inlettings and without apparent "springback".
