[Woodcarver] Finishing Tips ...

[Woodcarver87]

Hi Loren,

I would greatly appreciate the "finishing tips" thread you suggested for
your "Notes From The Net" article.

I found Bill Judt's SSW method one of the most helpful to me when I first
tried some Relief Carving. This SSW techniques involves the use of Sanding
Sealer as a base coat which provides a clear finish, followed by a thorough
rub down with a fine abrasive pad. I have followed that up with clear or
stained paste or finish waxes for satin sheens.

 I now also use that SSW technique for my in-the-round natural finish
carvings, smooth and textured surfaces, with equally satisfying results. I
like the fact that Sanding Sealer dries very quickly and I can usually
proceed with the finishing process in one sitting.
