[Woodcarver] new carvings

[BillRussell]

Thanks Jan. I have several different ways to finish the Bark carvings. If I 
am going to paint parts of the carving I seal it with minwax natural finish 
and then I add my oil paints using the minwax to thin the paint. After it is 
dry I give it a couple of light coats of Deft. Then I put a coat of Minwax 
polyurethane on the carving. Front, back and all end grain too. When dry I 
use some Watco wax to the carving then buff it up..

If I don't paint it I just use the Polyurethane and Watco wax.

I am not afraid to try other techniques if I read or hear of them. It can be 
fun experimenting.
