warm, getting warmer...

Board #5 was done up in some brown stain. Now it's ready for some finishing oil

I'm ok with the board being brown, even though it rides slower than a red board

My Hawaiian board quiver

It looks nice, but I need one more to balance things out...

Just so happens I had one more log slab shaped and ready to go. I did a larger full body design. I did the previously demonstarted draw half of it and light box trace/carbon paper it transfer techinque. After doing all that set up work, I got it burned to here last night:

Some lines, some shading, and it's stain time.

that's the last piece of lumber I had for boards. I'm kind of sad that I don't have any more ready to go. these are starting to get fun to do.

LUV the Marq, Buzz. You say you finally finished it, how was it not finished, I thought I remember seeing it done a while back.

It was only sanded. I never stained or sealed it. It was just sitting there in the living room waiting forever for me to finally get to it. I did all that finishing stuff last week. It's hard to see in the pictures, but the tatoos are stained a different color than the rest of it. It's that extra step that kept me from actually ever getting it done.

Nice shading job Buzz.

thanks Benz, but I owe it all to my magic burner, however. I just touch it to the wood and the burner does all the work for me.
