Ashley W asked:
I recently spent some time in Cuba on vacation, and bought some wonderful mahogany wood carvings from a local artist. The carvings are meant to hang on the wall, so the front is varnished, but the back of the carving is not. I returned less than a week ago and already cracks in the wood are beginning to form, from what I’ve read online this is from the drastic change in humidity (Cuba is humid, Winnipeg in winter is most definitely not). What can I do to prevent further damage, and is there anything I can do to fix the damage that has already occurred?

We plan to go to homedepot, but we are on a tight budget. The wood is all carved out bad because my husband didnt know how to fix it right. He added new door locks and had reposition the spots. Anyway how can we fix it? carve it more and add wood or can we fill it in with something?
