After reading M. O'Donnell's book on decorating, I tried using carver's

sanded down to their level and by moistening the surface the patterns
were supposed to rise proud of the surface. It was a miserable failure.

I have read of similar feats, but using steam instead of plain water.
Put the piece in a collander over boiling water. I'm going to try it
on some hard maple.
