sculptable
Ready for carving
Sculptable describes material that can be shaped or molded by hand or with tools: The clay remains sculptable for several hours before it dries.
The word applies to anything workable enough to form into desired shapes—wax, dough, certain plastics.
Figuratively, sculptable suggests something malleable or amenable to shaping: young minds still sculptable by experience.
