I take no credit whatsoever for that sand-after-staining technique. It's like a 3000 year old German woodcarving trick from the Olde Countrie. One thing I noticed is you can just sand the places you want, like outside edges and tops, subtly defining the shapes more.

Hit that thing with watered down Zisnznzzer Amber Shellac now, and the thing will look like it's from 1933. You could sell it to Genuine Handicrafts Musem in Balboa Park for 3 large.
