  Thanks a lot for the information. I am new to the carving hobby and follow the informations from other carver with much experience. I used till now BLO after carving, let it a couple of days till to a week to soak in the wood. Acrylic paint stays on the surface very well... till I use the final finish. Apply Bee wax, no mather with what (fine piese of cloth or paintbrush hard ebogh for apply the wax) removed the some of the color (where the layer is thinner). It may be look oldish, but sometime I did not whant that. I also used water based lasure. Some results, color goes a little bit off. I first think, it is my fault, apply to much oil, did not wait long enough till the wood take the oil in, and so on. Till I saw this video of yours.

  What I think a lot of carvers get wrong so badly, is having too distinctive a step in feather groups. The cape one this bird just stands way too high. It does not appear like that in nature. To me the bill is also off, too heavy and the wrong shape . I am a bander and handle lots ofd wild birds. An art teacher told me, do not try to represent every feather or every hair.. Give instead the right impression.

  Have just found this channel, and what a video to land on, saved to my 'useful folder'!. Having worked with clay, for too longa time, I can say that most of the items in this video, would be applicable to clay use, so don't rush past this if you're not a woodworker!. The first item, perfect tool for small scale sculpts, making moulds requires a flat and even base to work on, this item has that at least. Moving on to 4:30, another clay useful thing!, especially the metal cutters ...quick and clean solution to cutting exact circles, and many other shapes from clay!. Thank you for expanding on the usual one item per video nonsense!, I hope these videos of yours expands your subscriber numbers, thank you for sharing something so useful!.

  Great video, really comprehensive. I used BLO under acrylic for a while, with mixed results. But didn’t like the coloration at the end grain so I stopped doing it. Been using the natura oil for a couple years now and I actually like it a lot. I don’t seem to have any issue with the acrylic paint over it. For any special carvings I will use a water based pre-stain and then very thinned acrylics, often multiple layers and I think that looks great. It’s just a lot of smell and work so don’t do that very often. Thanks for the video and info!

  I use BLO before I paint, and the basswood just sucks up the BLO immediately. I'll paint within an hour after applying BLO, sometimes much sooner using acrylic paint (Folkart, Ceramcoat, or Decoart). Some of the carvings are a number of years old and so far, I have not seen any yellowing at all or degradation of the painted surfaces. Some of the faces on caricatures I carve don't even get painted as the coloring with the BLO gives the face a natural color. I do brush water on the face before I use the watered down red on a Santa face (cheeks and nose area). I have just started using Minwax 209 (I wait a day for the 209 to fully dry) on a couple of carvings before I paint and see the same quality of the carving finish using either BLO or 209. Older carvings I used the acrylic paint right out of the bottle without thinning with water. Now I thin all my acrylic paints before I apply them over the BLO or 209 surface. Time will tell.
