Relief Carved

It only took me about a year to post anything, but better late than never. I definitely drool everyday at the amazing things made on here. Makes me want to quit my job and build all day.

This is a “G” that I reliefed carved into Oak that a friend asked me to do. The “G” of course if for the number one college football team in the nation. Most of it was carved using a router, and then fine tuned as much as possible by hand. It’s about 18” x 24”. I also never realized how much of a glare polyurethane makes when taking photos of it.

I do have a question. When staining the border, how do I keep it from bleeding (or is that possible)? I bet i sanded off stain from the interior for 3 days.

GO DAWGS!!! And a big welcome to Uga VII!

Nice carving, thanks for posting. Like Dusty said, stain then carve – I’ve also used tape around the edges and a quick wipeup on some carving and that worked as well.

Nice job. I agree stain first then carve, you can stain after you carve and tape off the area but you will still get some stain bleading through under the tape.

It never even crossed my mind to stain first then carve. I can see how it would make things much easier now.
