I've done it both ways.
Gouging dry:
1. Gouges a little thicker
2. Smoother gouge, without swiss cheese effect even if the cane is crap. This results in a more vibrant gouge overall.
3. Rather than shavings, you get dust. lots and lots of dust.
4. Dulls the blade faster
Gouging wet:
1. Gouges thinner, more variance depending on how long you soak your cane for.
2. Tells you more about the cane as to whether its denser or softer, smooth or rough.
3. Blade stays sharper a lot longer.
Nowadays I gouge wet.
