Bragging Not So Much

[koehler788]

OK, So I got the stain choice, (Golden Oak) - Good

Dipped the Cross and Base In Stain (Golden Oak ) - Good

Wiped excess stain ( Golden Oak ) off of Cross and Base - Good

Took Pics of freshly stained Cross and Base - Good

Set aside overnight for stain ( Golden Oak ) to dry - Good

Next day, came straight home from work to put clearcoat on - WHAT THE  H. E. Double Hockey Sticks Is this

Stain Bled unevenly

[lawson56]

Yea I have had that happen to me.Wasn't happy.Had to sand it,restain.still didn't like it,Recut.But from what I can see in the pics, yours look Great.

That is because it got the end grain inside the plys on the plywood.  One way to help reduce that is to hit it with a stain prep before staining and then wipe it down real well after the stain has been applied.  OR you could stain it much darker and the bleed will not show.

I like that too, nice work.

[kywoodmaster]

Nice piece of work though.

Most people wouldn't notice. I usually say, "It's something in the grain of the wood"

[wombatie]

Looks OK to me but you can obviously see what we can't in the photos.

It looks very well done work, you can still say they are marks of wood grain.

This is how i fixed it

I found this pattern a long time ago when I was doing more carving than scrolling and I converted it to a carved cross to be hung on the wall, I have a pict of it when it was complete but I can't seem to find it. This one was shortly before I finished
