tricky finishing porblem
i would appreciate your suggestions for finishing the following bowl.
it is beech , it has been carved througout the surface which is going to be filled with oil paint. the surface is then going to be scorched with a blow torch. i have experimented on a practice piece and had a few problems : 1. when oiling with danish or teak the oil will run out of the carvings and eventually harden with run marks. the carvings are small like piercings and the oil sits in them unable to be wiped. i feel spraying will cause the same effect. more care ? maybe but i think eventually i will get a run and i cant sand it out without destroying the scorched finish. 2. the residue from the scorching is being picked up by the oil and depostied into the carved sections - i had buiffed it off lightly but dont want to spoil the scorched effect. 3. i could use parafin oil as it wont dry hard and wont cause runs as much but as i am diluting the oil paint in the finishing oil i am wary that the paint may not dry aswell. any suggestions ? |
