DWSUDEKUM Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 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. DW amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken O Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Most people wouldn't notice. I usually say, "It's something in the grain of the wood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looks OK to me but you can obviously see what we can't in the photos. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koehler788 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 This is how i fixed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vykus Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
