Hi All, I need your help. I am trying to cut a dragon pattern from thermally modified poplar. I have cut multiple compound cutting projects with this wood and it is awesome for that and the color is unbelievably gorgeous. When I planed the wood down to 1/8" to cut the dragon I found it's very, very soft. I really want to use this wood, can anyone give me hints on cutting soft woods or know of a way I can harden it?
