I purchased a chainsaw eagle from a neighbor. It had been sitting behind her shed for years and has need of restoring. The base is rotting and the one wing is held together with wood screws. I don't know what kind of wood it is and it doesn't appear to have ever had any type of sealer or oil applied to it. There are other cracks throughout the eagle. Please see pictures. I
I would like to know if I can use a wood hardner on the base where it is rotting out. Also, what is the best way to repair the wing and fill the small cracks to keep water out of them? How do I reattach the piece of the base that has broken off? Best way to clean the eagle.
I have managed to get most of the moss off of the eagle, but need to know how to clean the rest of it. Will using water damage it?
I am just a someone who wants to restore a carving and have no experience. I would appreciate any help/advice you can give me!
Thank you Glenny
