Here is a small Santa carving I just finished. 6' Tall and 2 1/2 " wide, carved from Basswood. All of these figures are painted with an acrylic wash, dried and then dipped in BLO for about 5 minutes. After the BLO, I wipe them off and spray with Deft and leave to dry over night. On several I've done, after they have dried, I then flood them with a coat of Watco dark satin wax and then wipe that off. The BLO helps to antique them and the wax helps highlight some of the features. As always, comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Tracy. I've always had a "little" artistic talent but have never really done anything with it. Now I think I have found my niche. I really enjoy doing these. And Yes, it's really only been about 3 months now.

Thanks,

Chuck
