One day I'd love to see you go totally Berzerk on one..Nice stuff. PooBah, on the splotchy stain, I've met that when I findend grain showing in a carving, Every line you carve across the grain opens up the end grain, like the top of a foot, leg, nose and all those details and those areas will not take stain like the full on side grain, at least that's always been my experience. Hope this helps a bit. Thanks lake for a spot on your thread!! :o :D :P
