Tip on fixing small chip Well, as usual, necessity is the mother of invention, I have been working on a cowboy sheriff from Dave Stetsons pattern and got well into the carving before I found out the piece of basswood I was working on was junk! Too far into it to quit, so I finished, and about everytime I touched it a little minute piece of the wood would chip out! The worst and one I couldn't recarve to fix was on the side of the nose, so.......I had purchased some of the new elmers stainable wood glue....it has fibres in it, so thought it might do a little repair, it did a good job, had to apply a little dot of it twice, but the color isn't bad either! I am going to paint it anyway, but thought this might help someone..........doubt I am the only one with some sad wood! (beginning to wonder if its the dryness here in the desert that is causing my problem?) |
