A lot of people have been asking what I use to make the woodworkings I make. They are all done by hand using a coping saw, files, and sand paper. The very detailed woodworkings can take months to make with this hand-made process, but I think it adds to the character of the pieces rather than being direct cut outs. I tend not to finish or use stains on wood franky because I'm not really sure how. I never had any lessons or any help with my woodworking hobby and I'm still learning a lot in the process of making new things. I'd rather keep the wood in its natural existence rather than risk ruining them with mediocre staining abilities.
