Excellent work. I like the areas that pierce right through.

Thank you artme and Brendan I thought I would step it up a notch w/ the threw piercing the more I work on this the more I'm leaning towards ebonizing the back ground where it's not piercing threw and lightly - slightly staining the leafs & acorns natural reds & browns.

Hello again everyone Well I put a few more hours into the roughing out process and finished the piercing part of this project, now it's on the the fine details and sanding. Here's what she's looking like now.

I think you have done a really good job with the carving and the overall effect looks great. Bit hard to tell from a photo but if you think it needs a light sand and another coat of varnish, don't settle for less than a 100% result with the finish.
