when i get around to finishing one, i use the method lynn droughtys discussed numerious times a wet on wet method where the paint is thinned down to that of watercolor, and used on a wet carving, i do like the results of using some floating medium (lora irish's mention) to help keep the paint pigment bound like some water based sealer or floating medium, when im satisfied i clear coat it with some spray mat gloss.. if theres something better i'd want to hear about it .

I voted other as I've done all the above, as well as Tun Oil, and a food grade oil to finish the wood. Each items gets a different treatment depending on what it is and what it will be used for.

Acrylic paints diluted in various degrees with water and sealed with matt or satin finish waterbased varnish. Natural wood finished items stained and/or sealed with oil based poly.

I voted other as not all finishing methods were mentioned. Like most polls, anwers are what the poll giver gives you and not a total representation of all types of method. Granded, You can'rt list them all but there are several regularly used methods not given. " One important answer could or should have been "all of the above", which that combined with other methods are used often. However, Thank you Bob Duncan!

Satin Deft for me also! Dries quick and gives a good look.

watered down acrylics with a splash of linseed oil when dried then a light coat of deft and some howards feed and wax. works for me and gives the carving a nice soft look. bart |

I chose "Paint" since we could only choose one and that's basically the one I use the most though I do generally put a clear coat of some sort over it to protect it. mikeg |
