[Woodcarver] Outdoor carvings

[JJellies at aol.com]

Hi,

I have a few outdoor carvings and have done well with very liberal coating 
with linseed oil mixed with exterior poly and diluted with mineral spirits. 
Several cots allowing it to soak in. I wouldn't paint it for awhile though and I 
don't know about bondo in the cracks.

Best wishes!
