Hi folks,
Well folks, the Celtic Carving that I was so proud of has a problem, and I hope someone can suggest a solution, cause I'm perplexed.
To finish sanding I applied a coat of Shellac, sanded most off but in the recess areas most remained. Then I applied the oil finish over it and wiped dry, let it soak over night and applied a second coat....but 'forgot' to wipe it dry again!
Now the piece has dried, but has a high gloss and in some recesses the oil has cured on the surface and seems almost like a varnish.
How can I fix this? I want to get to be able to apply a wax covering, which will give it a better (less glossy) look and protect it.
Any suggestions?
Bob
