Friends,

I just completed the carving phase of a pirate and am ready to paint it. 
Unfortunately, the basswood had a 3/8" hole in it on the side of the 
beard which had to be filled with wood putty. I wanted to paint it with 
a light wash to allow the wood to show through, but the wood putty is a 
distinct different color which prohibits me from doing that. Unless you 
have some ideas, I'm resigned to paint it with thick paint to cover it up.

Thanks for your assistance.

Dave
