I wonder what else would look good? The wood is wild....it has all sorts of nobs and curves on the backside. It has lots of character. I went into this carving intending to use an ebony stain. Does anyone have a better idea? The one thing that will bother me is that the red is not even in the cuts, even though I was carful to make my cuts equal depths. The center "red" wood is not evenly distributed inside the log. Here are some more pics I took as I was sanding.... -Gman http://www.oceanandislandarts.blogspot.com/ [ Edited by: GMAN 2008-06-12 19:51 ]
