Question: how to protect basswood carving? Posted: 02 May 2021 03:37 AM PDT Hello! Today i finished my first carving. It is a small heart made out of basswood. The burnt engraving was made with a wood burning pen. There is still a few steps to go before im truly finished with this project. Its supposed to be a necklace. I'm going to drill a small hole on the top to insert the copper wire (seen in the picture), which is going to act as a loop for the string. I figure fixing it with a drop of super glue inside the hole isn't a terrible idea. Before i do that i would like to apply a finish to the heart, to protect it from sun, moisture, heat, scratches etc... I need advice for basswood finishes. I have heard of people using linseed oil, but after a quick wikipedia read, i was informed that the linseed oil doesn't do much in terms of protection or preservation. What would be some suggestions on how to give this thing a longer life? https://preview.redd.it/cpmomqx4pow61.png?width=347&format=png&auto=webp&s=9259f466364e5b4f11109ade2eae798e398faa45 submitted by /u/No-Puhi [link] [comments]

Just a noob asking obvious questions Posted: 01 May 2021 10:28 PM PDT Hello everyone, I just joined this sub because I've just gotten my hands on a great set of carving tools and would love to get started on some quality woodcarving. I am sure there are dozens of posts like mine, but I honestly couldn't find any, so please be patient and nice with this guy. Here's my main question, which probably has a large subjective variety of answers: Where do I start? 😅 i mean, where do I learn about all the tips and tricks of how to use my tools and the dos and don'ts of woodcarving? What should i begin with working on? Is there any 3DBenchy for woodcarving? What type of wood is the easiest to waork with? Any books or courses worth checking out? And so on. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness. submitted by /u/Spamboi13 [link] [comments]
