[Woodcarver] oxidation of cherry wood

Keep it covered when you are not working on it; keep it out of the sun especially.  But don't worry too much, as the patina will even out in short order--unless there's a very long time between carving sessions.

  Greetings to you all,

  I am new to the group and almost as new to carving.

  I am trying some different kinds of wood to see what they will do for me.

  I have just done a relief carving in cherry wood, and by the time I finished the carving, the earliest carving stage had oxidized already. Does anyone have any good advice on how to keep cherry from oxidizing while I am working on it?

  Thanks.

   

  Bob D
