To get a durable finish on your wood carving, apply 3-5 coats of lacquer. Start with a half-and-half mix of lacquer and thinner for the first coat so it soaks in well. Let each coat dry for 30 minutes before adding the next. For extra durability, you can go up to 7 coats. Trust me, patience is key!!!

Привет! Lacquer finishes dry quickly, making wood carvings look shiny and protected. They blend layers without needing to sand in between, which is a big плюс! Just remember, don’t put oil on Basswood unless you want some weird, unplanned art!!! Also, always work with good ventilation because of the fumes.

Hey, привет (Hello)! If you’re into wood carving, you should know about finishes and sealants. They make your carvings shine and last longer. There are oils like tung or linseed, waxes, and clear coats like polyurethane. Trust me, using these makes a big difference!!! They protect from scratches, water, and even UV light.
