Default Looking for options
A club member is teaching how to carve a Sea Turtle coming out of an egg. He finished his with a burner and polyeurathane, simple and superb. I don't burn, what are by options if I want a similar look? Thanks

You can try painting it in a similar style, using different shades of brown and black to create a similar effect, maybe. You can do some pretty interesting things with paint if you are patient enough and take some time in messing with it.

I'm thinking more along the lines of some type of paint pen, what's good and what works?
