Default Finish with Meltonian Shoe Polish
Flickr: whittling's Photostream

March29 Photos, Meltonian Elf & Gnome Home.
click on the pic ,then click on "all size" right above picture

Natural Meltonian looks nice on Cottowood,
Then I antiqued it with black, as sugested on another thread,
Do NOT Antique with Black.
Tried to scrub the Elf clean and ended up with a dark face,

Now my first Gnome Home,,, Scrubed it with soap and nail brush, Panicing to get the black off., It pretty much cleaned up and I polished it again with natural.
yea, its darker,
The bark looks better sprayed, but i dont want to darken the Cottonwood.

do you shoe polish users wax/polish and call it Done or do you finish with Def or Varathane?
