My friend has a lovely carving of praying hands in medium dark polished
wood.
I have tried all types of lighting conditions but cannot eliminate the shine
off the wood.

Why do you want to? The shine is part of the object.


I am unable to treat the wood itself, but is there a form of indirect or
diffused light that may not spoil the photo of this carving my friend has
made
& we are so proud of?

Why do you think that?

You have made me look at my pics in a different light!!
I must say they are rather nice as they are.

Thanks for opening my eyes.
