This is Fig, one of 5 carvings I have listed today on my Etsy shop. With that accomplished, I can put my knives and paints away until next year. Merry Christmas Everyone! -- CJ, https://www.etsy.com/shop/cjsolberg?ref=si_shop | |||||||

Great carving. What did you use for color. I have tried the hobby paints and really want to achieve a finish like yours so you can see the grain thru the color.

I use the craft acrylics and thin with water. Carvings are first given a coat of boiled linseed oil, painted, then they get 2 coats of Deft clear wood finish spray.
