Great carving. What did you use for color. I have tried the hobby paints and really want to achieve a finish like yours so you can see the grain thru the color.

I use the craft acrylics and thin with water. Carvings are first given a coat of boiled linseed oil, painted, then they get 2 coats of Deft clear wood finish spray.
