Well, there is something.  I have tried the soaking in saltwater, which
works to some degree on different things (carrots, potatoes, turnips, etc.)
and carrots will still crack if they are woody to begin with.  We used that
method when I set my sights on making a chess set out of green and yellow
lentil pottage for the board and the pieces carved from carrots and turnips.
  It was a wimsy that worked rather well at high table to which it was
served prior to the beginning of feast.
