[Woodcarver] Cottonwood Bark Finishing question

[P Sherman]

alex,  i  have used super glue to strengthen bark. before finishing it. and i have used sanding sealer also. seems to toughten it up some.

 i dont use deft tho. i spray mine with clear acrylic paint. works better then the varnish and deft.

 i like your carvings. 

i hvae been using cottonwood bark from the beachs of lake erie and the presqe isle in Penn.
 not as thick as western stuff but sure a nice color.
