I swear by the technique of getting your husband to do it after he's done the dishes, finished the ironing, mown the lawn... hang on - I'd better be careful

!

You've really got to try to protect your work against dirt and avoid the need to clean it. If that means putting it behind glass in a picture frame or in a display cabinet, then so be it. Glass is much easier to clean.

However, if your pieces do start to gather dust, I find a large soft make-up brush accompanied by a sharp exhalation from the lungs is the most reliable way to disperse dust safely. Perhaps your wife has something you could use (and I don't mean surplus lung action

).

Have you thought about running the dusting brush hooked on the end of your vacum hose? Seems to me this would be the best way to get all the little dusty bunnies in it.

Dusting fretwork . . isn't that what air compressors were made for? To blow out fretwork dust

Seriously though , my wife is very good at cleaning dust out of my big fretwork clocks. She does it the way Sharon suggested as well as loosening up some of the dust with a 1" paint brush where the size of the vacuum dusting brush won't reach and sucking it in with the crevice tool.

I don't dust em . . . I just make em'
