[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 189166, member: 1969"] Howdy Martin--yes, generally speaking, stain is a many-layered application. With that said, however, I am totally clueless as to how thin the stain should be, and how much is too much before the grain starts to get hidden. Since this particular project was rusticated, I was after color only. You might want to head up someone who actually knows what they are doing. I think part of the reason why I am happy I'm continuing these carving projects and posting them is it seems so many people are saying how they'd love to try pipe carving but hesitate for various reasons. Just get into it! I've been discouraged by third-hand information from forums (conflicting/too much info), the beauty of what a master can carve after a decade or more of practice (with all the best tools), and it seems daunting. Just get into it! Don't be afraid to make a mistake! The experience and pride you'll get once you decide it is done [i]far[/i] outweighs any of the perceived negatives. 8) [/QUOTE]
