V, I enjoy relief carving. I use various hardwoods as my canvases. There are a few non oily domestic and an exotic species are “paintable” and offer incredible grains, I’m working with Mesquite quite a bit, because the grain is so incredible. Heck, a nice slab of mesquite sanded to 220 grit, then coated with shellac is a work of art before I carve anything. After carving, I mostly use acrylic paint pens and ink to color carved objects and enhance background grain. I do use acrylic paints with brushes as well, but not as much. After allowing paint / ink to dry… I typically apply another coating of shellac, then apply a paste wax, lightly buffing. Looks good but I worry about “lack of protection”. Most of my pieces are in the 12” x 24” x 1” size range. The carved and background sections need sealing / protection, and the paint needs protection as well. I have applied polyurethane, poly acrylic, and lacquer over stained and painted surfaces. I am not good at it. Dust nibs and contaminates are always lurking about, and why I don’t do much mixed media (resin / wood art) anymore. I don’t use any “OIL” products for my Art. Water based paints and alcohol based products (shellac) are my primary “go to” material. I am seeking advice for a clear top coat that will protect the piece from paint rubbing off, etc… if possible. The word “varnish” is very broad and opinions abound. Best

great project, thanks for sharing!

Your videos are great! I do have a question though, what kind of glove do you use in the videos?

What wood is that you are you carving?

Absolutely brilliant! So expressive and inspirational. Thank you Van for all the time and effort you take in producing and sharing these great tutorials.

I enjoy vans videos so much. his knives/tools seem so sharp, I would love to see how he actually sharpens them aside from stropping.

Thanks Van!
