Default Skull
Just finished a skull tonight.
I carved it mostly with hand flex cut blades.
went in with my rifflers to shape the rounded parts.
Sanded it with my dremmel than 220 paper by hand.
Stained white with mixol white and a plain base that you can tint any color.
Aged with 15 bags of black tea and little water to create uneven coloring, found out that adding a little bit of vinegar helped the color absorb better.
finished with my wood burner to darken up a few bits.

Learned quite a bit doing this, I still need to learn more on the wood burner, it didn't come out as I expected it to.
