| | Re: Study Stick Santa HI Al and Gene. Thanks for the compliments. Gene the Antiqueing is Watco Dark Wax it's easy to use and cleans up quick. I put it opn with a small piece of cloth and don't wear Gloves. I just wash my hands as soon as I'm done. Merle |

| | Re: Study Stick Santa Hi Tom and Bart, glad you like my Santa. He was fun to carve because I used a Study Stick which is a little different. Just approching at different angles. Good learning experience. Thanks. Merle |

| | Re: Study Stick Santa Nice one Merle!  where do you find the 'dark' Watco wax.' I found the neutral, but around my area I've checked with Home Depot, Ace Hardware and True Value--all only have the neutral which I have.
I like the way the dark wax really gives that antiqued look. Good Work!
