Individual motif areas of your chip carving can be painted in complementary colors to emphasis the change in the chip shapes, depth, and design. Again, note that since we want a vintage look I am not working towards a solid, opaque coloring anywhere on the chip carving plaque.
Allow the base acrylic color to dry thoroughly. You can at this point give your plaque several very light coats of spray sealer, which limits how much of the oil stain can grab into the wood. For my project I applied one coat of burnt umber oil paint mixed half and half with boiled linseed oil.
With a clean cloth, wipe off the oil stain working with the grain direction of your wood. You can dampen your cloth with turpentine to remove any excessively dark stain on the high areas of the chip carving.
Clean the sanding dust with a tach cloth and apply your favorite finish.
