    Looks great, Kevin. Did you stain and wipe it? Also what settings did you use?

    I used a brush to stain it and I had the depth at .250 and height at 300 and I inverted the PTN. I used 2 different stains so it would stand out.

    Nice job, Kevin. The stain really has brought out the detail you put into the carve. Well done!!

    The stain really does bring out all the detail. I like to use a brush and leave the stain heavy in spots and light in others.
