I promised you the 2021 Christmas Ornament would be ready this week. And guess what?
Here it is!
Look closely and you'll see each one has been chip carved slightly different from the other. In the Platinum Video I'll show you how to carve each style.
You've waited long enough!
It's time for you to learn how to chip carve!
Am I right? 😁
Upgrade to Platinum NOW and you'll be ready to carve Ornaments for your friends and family this year!
I carved the trivet shown below in 2013. The top accidentally got some black residue on the surface so I removed it with some acetone. The surface was cleaned up but some of the black remained below the surface in the carved recesses so I decided to stain it.
In the Finishing Course I mention that you can use the thick goop (that's the technical term) in the bottom of a penetrating oil stain before stirring it up as a gel stain. So that's what I did with this Cabot Stain.
After staining there were some spots on the top that made it look less than perfect so I fixed it as shown in this quick, high-speed video. I'll explain all the steps in real-time in an upcoming lesson in the Finishing Course. (free for Platinum
