Default Cleaning Carvings
I have had my carvings displayed and now they are dust covered. What is a safe way to remove collected dust from carvings?

Hello, usually clean my carvings with a soft brush. Safest way that I know of. Maybe someone else has a better way.

I have used a paint brush in the past, but think a faster and better way is to blow them off with compressed air. If you have an air compressor, box um up and go outside. I have done my louvered closet doors that way and it works great.
