Lente's Work - Tiki Carving

L Lente Member Joined: Feb 14, 2010 Posts: 36	L Lente Posted posted on Sat, Feb 19, 2011 6:47 AM This is my first attempt at a carve. It's done in a piece of driftwood I found out back. I have no idea what kind of wood it is, except that it is very hard and did not smell of evergreen. I am not sure how to finish it. The local hardware store has marine varnish, which seems to be the consensus around TC. I'm thinking of just varnishing it without any stain. I'm concerned, specifically, about the effect of fresh water rain in the ship-worm holes as he is going outside when finished. Anyone have any experience on this?
