The finished product is even more amazing!

explain your finishing technique... that looks really neat. It gives the impression to me that the background which is darker is seperate from the foreground vines object. Did you use some type of gel stain? the finished project is fantastic!

2 coats of Crystalac white wash stain, hand sanded with 120G to burn thru the stain on edges of carving. Seal coat. Applied Mohawk Van dyke brown glaze, lightly rubbed out entire door with rag then went back and removed more glaze on the carving to highlight it. Seal coat. Applied Mohawk black glaze to stiles/rails of frame and used an artist's brush to outline the carving, lightly rubbed out the black glaze. 3 coats sealer.

Gene,

Thanks for posting the photo's. I get a kick seeing what you're doing. I must give some larger 3D carvings a go. It seems to me, wood which is doesn't visually conflict with the design is the best. Not sure what I can find locally.

Keep up the good work.

Joe
