Not sure if proper #JapaneseWoodworking has this way of doing, but I found wetting the material first would help prevent fibers from squashing. Squashing happens especially when the air is dry, which deprives the wood of its water content.
Maybe because the material I mostly use is #Sugi, of which #ShouSugi is made, as it's the most cheaply available material around. It gets brittle when dry.
It is useful esp. before finalizing a cut with precision like a mortize (hozo-anaほぞ穴) .T'O.A.Q.Tr't
