New Way To Finish Your Wood Carvings That I Love!

[@JohnJude-dp6ed]

Again thank you for helping and teaching us and more importantly myself.

I am also a big fan of Howard's Feed N Wax. I use a paint brush, lather it on, and let it sit for 24 hours. Then I use a shoe-shining brush and paper towel to rub in/clean off. I've noticed after a year or so, the carvings tend to need it again.

I’ve been using this for ages. Leaves a real nice finish and lasts a while.

Have been using Howard's orange oil and bee's wax for a long time, works great.

[@loribrooks6736]

Thank you for this Van! I am one of the people you mentioned that often leaves their carvings unfinished. This video gets me motivated to finish them all using this process. Thanks so much!

[@johnduffy6546]

Wax is great! Try a natural horse hair shoe brush. You'll LOVE it !

[@mikereed4876]

Thanks. I have found that using a toothbrush to apply the feed n wax works well. You can then use the same toothbrush to get it out of the cracks after it soaks in.

I've been using that same product and technique over acrylic paint for years with great results. I'll be looking forward to carving the Indian if you are teaching that, yours looks great!

I use a shoe brush when I use Howard's Feed and Wax that you can also put it on you painted carvings makes them pop

[@nickdarpino]

Can you give us the mixture quantities you use for the darker BLO mix. Thank you for your time

[@thomasjohnson3586]

I paint with an acrylic wash let it dry then use Howard's feed and wax brush then apply semigloss Deft spray.

Thank you Van for sharing. That bees wax looks like it is a nice finish on a piece of bass wood. Thank You

Could you use the wax on a carving that has been painted with acrylic paints

[@lisahenry781]

Can you paint over the wax?

[@bjpasco]

Have you tried painting first then using the wax technique?

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

🐝🐝🐝🐝👍🏻 thanks good stuff

[@gene2069]

Hi Van, do you do this process on a painted carving or just an unpainted carving?

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

I have done both, but I usually use this on unpainted ones as I really like the natural look it had.

[@carverbp]

Can you apply Howard's over acrylic painted carvings?

[@bssn9469]

I do, I make sure the paint has dried then apply the feed n wax.

[@bjpasco]

Do you ever prep with linseed oil?

[@bssn9469]

Check the channels library.
