Just now seen your mountain man, thats a great job, nice clean cuts, love it. Will you oil it or what do you do to seal the carving. After all this time viewing chisel carvings on this site, its seems impossible to me that you can do such things with chisels and knives. I'll say it again, very nice detailed work.

Hugh, I sealed the carving with tung oil with some thinner to help with the drying. The pictures posted only have one coat. I typically put on three coats. I picked up some stain the other day so I may start using it with the oil to give some more color to my carvings...however, I like the natural grain of the wood so we'll see.
