Carving Care

                    Some Carving Crack and Some Don't. Depending on how you take care of it.
                    Outside carvings:

                                                   If your carving is to be placed outside try and place in a shady area rather
                                                  
 than in full sun.

                                              
     If your carving is for outside display leave it outside. Don’t bring it inside in
                                                   
the wintertime! Keep in an unheated place if you feel you must move it
                                       
            because of snow (shed, porch, or garage).

                                             
      If your carving is unfinished apply “Boiled Linseed Oil” with a brush a few
                                                 
  times a year. (LOWES, HOME DEPOT, WALMART)

                                              
     If your carving is finished apply “Helmsman Spar Urethane” It comes Clear
                                              
     Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Satin finish. The more you apply the better you carving
                                             
      will hold up to the elements outside and inside. (LOWES, HOME DEPOT
                                              
     WALMART)

                                              
     Make sure you feel comfortable leaving your carving outside. Place them
                                              
     where people won’t steal them (backyard, fenced yard, or porch)
                                              
                                              
     Place your carving on a brick or crushed stone in the yard.

                                                   Inside Carvings:

                                                   If the carving is inside put a small piece of wood underneath so any sap
                                              
     doesn’t get on your floors or mantle.

                                              
     Keep you carving away from heaters, wood stoves, fireplaces, and kitchen
                                             
      appliances.





              Thank you for your purchase and hope you enjoy your carving as much as I did making it.
