How do I clean woodcarvings?

best man wedding gift ideas image

Dianna B

While cleaning out my parents home I came across 2 handcarved bookends, made in Mexico, each one in the shape of a man wearing a sombrero and taking a siesta. They were a wedding gift to my parents so they are approximately 80 years old. The only color on the carvings is the paint used to color the serapes the men wear, and I believe the rest of the wood has been lightly stained. I would like to clean them - gently - and bring up the color a little bit, but I have no idea how do to it. Can anyone help?

Answer
I would take them somewhere and have them cleaned. I wouldn't risk ruining such keep sakes.

Bedazzled anything really. I bedazzled spatulas for my friend as a house warming. They had his and her initials on them. She was joking that they kept getting spatulas from people so I made them two more.
Macaroni art. Glue a bunch of macaroni onto poster board. Make a man and a woman and say that's them.
