The varnish is prepared on the basis of the legendary Punic wax described by Pliny the Elder in his " «Naturalis Historia» in 77 AD.

* Varnish dries quickly, without collecting dust.

* Varnish, after drying, gives a matte surface that can be additionally polished to obtain a very pleasant semi-gloss shine that does not change over time.

One the next day you can additionally polish it with soft   cloth (which usually use to wipe the glasses.)

I don't practice iconography, but I try my hand at chip carving. I searched high and low online looking for basswood boards to pursue my hobby, and I bought several from different suppliers. I've always spent a lot on cheap boards. One day I ended up, by chance, on the Dal Molin Carpentry website and a world opened up to me. Boards of all sizes, and even particular shapes... I ordered some to try and I have to say: FINALLY! Finally some high quality boards, well finished and at fair prices. I immediately added the site to my favorites, from which I plan to order often :) A thousand thanks!
