Big T, you're spot on. Something I've been playing around with on my Maori pieces. A little torch on the grain and some Sedona Red. Actually, 4 colors going on... there is a Sandstone and a Burnt Umber wash over all that... it got a little washed out in the photo. A piece with a lot of depth in person. The tats are a fun addition... I'm trying to work more of them in, but not get too nuts with them. Thanks for expanding on that. Very expertly done. Just the right amount of torching and just the right amount of tats to give it a little extra pizzazz. :)
