[Woodcarver] Finish for cottonwood bark carving

[Larry Yudis]

Hi Larry, Naomi and Dick,

Mr. Bark Boy himself, Rick Jensen, likes using the "MELTONIAN BOOT & SHOE
CREAM POLISH - #1 NEUTRAL" for finishing his whimsical bark houses.

We happen to carry it (813160 - $2.95), as well as white (813161), black
(813162) and green (813163) that are used for accent colors on the houses.

I use neutral shoe cream for cottonwood bark carvings, that just darkens it
slightly.
