[Woodcarver] Introduction

[Denny]

The carving should be sealed all around so one side doesn't absorb moisture
faster than the other.  This can cause splitting or warping of the piece.

My "antiquing" solution is made from 50% Deft lacquer & 50% lacquer thinner
with a dab or two of Burnt Umber oil paint in it.  It depends on the final
effect you are looking for and what you are putting it over. A friend of
mine used some old discolored varnish he found in a rusty can.  Only problem
was he couldn't duplicate the recipe when he run out!
