I don't mean the workability when you shoot, I mean workability when you are roughing one out with hand tools. It just seems to me that the spoke shave wasn't bitting like it was when its warmer out. Maybe its just me.

I would think that just as heat expands and softens the wood, that cold would have the opposite effect. as to the extent, I dont know. :-\
