[Woodcarver] Paint on Sierra Nevada Brewery Carving

[Ron Ramsey]

Thank you all for the kind words.

I would like the leave the carving natural with only some airbrush stain to bring out the details but it is, after all, a logo.  I wont be gold leafing any of it because the original artwork that I used as a design doesn't have gold.

Check out the original artwork at this link:

I think I might do a color stain using thinned artist's oils to allow the grain to show through.  I'm still waiting on a decision from the client.  I will be doing other carvings for them that will be left natural.

Very nice carving. 
What color and type of paints will you use?

Do you plan to gold leaf any portions of the sign?

Hi All,

I have been working on a commission for the Sierra Nevada Brewery for the last 
couple of months.  I was inspired by Grinling Gibbons on this project although I 
don't claim to have the level of skill he had.

Be sure to look at the incredible nature inspired art jewelry hand fabricated by 
my wife, Karen Olsen Ramsey.  It's worth the time to take a look!
