 Re: Finishing a Chip Carving I have used a couple methods--spray Deft (lacquer) works very well and I find that it does not get as yellow as using a polyurethane. Use 2-3 light coats sanding with 300-600 grit sandpaper in between. THEN use a paste wax putting it on with your finger and rubbing it in until it feels warm. You will end up with a satiny smooth finish that is just a pleasure to hold. The other method is to use an oil varnish (without any polyurethane in it. Sand as above and wax or rub down with a crumpled brown paper bag to burnish it. Be sure you have sanded your project BEFORE you start carving too. I sand it to 600, burnish it with a paper bag and then put my pattern on. This also makes it easier to get the pencil marks off.  |
