Old English furniture touch up stain (comes in a bottle) works for darker finishes. Blends into almost anything brown and is slow tinting so it's much more controllable than regular stain. Use as many coats (dab with your finger, wipe with a rag damp with Old English and let dry a few minutes) as needed to get a match. As with stain, if you need it much darker, dab it on and leave it wet for a while, then wipe to see how dark it's getting. Once you get the color right, finish with spray lacquer or homemade paste wax. You can make something similar with maple oil stain (middle light color) stain, thin with kerosene, darken with India ink or burnt umber oil paint. If you want to get fancy, make up 3 small bottles -- light, medium, and dark. I learned about this stuff back in the 70s - I worked at a TV shop and the shop owner had it passed down to him by his father, who had been in the furniture business since the turn of the last century. When delivering cabinet TVs, He always carried his Old English bottle with a half saturated diaper thrown over the top. He could fix a cabinet ding almost as fast as we could ding it. Thanks Don! I found a bottle in my mothers junk when I moved her (she's 88 and has a touch of dementia), and she gave it to me for my carving. I looked on Amazon and they still sell it, it sure looks right, and it says "Trusted for over 100 years", so that must be the stuff. www.amazon.com/Old-English-Scratch-Bottle-Polish/dp/B0009Y6G7I

Good tip thanks Ryan. I have some eagle carvings that pretty dried out and have some wood rot, do you have any suggestions on how to repair them. I’ve dug out the rot as much as could and am letting them dry out, wondering what would be the best to fill the holes with ?

I have a carved eagle with similar thumbnail-sized cracks on the wings, which sound hollow when knocked. For those of us who aren't skilled at this sort of repair work, is there any reason to use cedar shake over wood fill?
@RyanCookCarvin2 жыл бұрын
looks better and holds over time .. cedar wont rot and just feel like im using the wood better to fill the wedges

I've got a wood sculpture that is fairly old that has some deep cracks. It is not painted but sun bleached from years out in the weather. I am not sure it is possible for me to repair but I really want it preserved. I am in KY if anyone has any ideas of anyone to help. Thanks

Is there anything you can do or preventative measures to stop a piece from cracking?

Do you carve eyes and paint them or use plastic or glass eye inserts? I know carvers who do both.

@@RyanCookCarvin thanks for the reply and putting out this great content! Would love to see a shop setup video how you carve in there with gas saws. I only run electric inside right now and wondered what ventilation you had or that sort of thing.

Hahaha..... You said filling cracks. Lol Just wondering, did you ever draw or paint before you started carving? And what started you into carving? Thanks bro
