I grind it in a mortar with a pedestal and mix it with olive oil and a little water. I stains the wood and when it is dry I wipe the excess off. Still working on techniqe but so far so good. My Yupik relatives still use it to decorate and to reduce wood rot by mixing it with a mixture of fermented fish eggs and seal oil(I should add egg to my mixture for a better binder). My family eats all the fish eggs and sea mammal oil we are gifted so I don't use them in my paint. The use of red ochre paint goes back to the pre-Russian contact and longer. They also used Kaolin clay for white, iron phosphate for blue and lamp soot for black. Nelson island was the major source for hematite, kaolin and iron phosphate. The material are still in use in the Nelson Island are and are highly valued there.Richard Wisecarvernoreply@blogger.com
