Default Finish for bark and cypress knee.
I'm really enjoying my bark carving, the cypress knee less so, but It's ok.

My problem is that I can't remember what my instructors at Congress said to use to seal them.

Can anyone help me out with this? What do I use to seal a bark carving or a cypress knee. I don't plan to color either one.

I've used spar urethane on my cottonwood bark.
