I went to a craft show today and met a great guy selling his carvings. They were pretty good and very reasonable but he wasn't selling much. He painted them with thick paint and finished them with a glossy polyurethane. They looked like plastic! Please, newbies, paint your carvings with DILUTED paints so that the wood grain shows through. Leave those tool marks in place so people can tell that it was carved by hand and SIGN (and date) YOUR WORK! You may be famous some day and everyone will want your early work!!!!
