MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Hi Feb, gee it looks really good to me, but I know there are other's far better skilled than I that might see what I don't see.
I like the background the way it is simple is better your 'Jesus' is the star. I really like the design it's time for to work on it again and finish it.

Ditto to what Kathy said. Nice as is or maybe a light stain.
