Occasionally I am asked to repair or touch up religious statues. In this case, the hands were broken off multiple times. Old glue staining, and prior repainting, had ruined the original surface. I rebuilt the hands with wood putty epoxy, which can be sculpted and sanded, and then painted and antiqued the whole statue. The wood cross was cleaned and revarnished. There is not a lot of money in this kind of work, but it is a nice break from my regular assignments.
Great job, congratulations !
