yo brah, nice work! I posted one of my latest carvings here and I have gotten a lot of recommendations to take it deeper! I am not excited about it but I broke out the chisels and have started to retool my entire carving.

I had an ideal for adding some tattoo style etcings to the face. I do have plenty of experience with refinishing furniture never with a wax finish, only stain and french polish. I don't want stain to absorb very deep I want it to sit on top so I can carve with exacto knife and show lighter grain below.
Could you take a second and tell me about the wax finish on ur moi? Looks fantastic
very nice satiny finish. Edges and curves get easily lost in gloss. I am quick study so only need the nuts and bolts of what to do to save typing. Thanks
