You did that in five days?! It is beautiful! :o

Thanks Digger,

No, I worked on it off and on for about 2 weeks. It took me 5 days to apply the finish. (one coat a day)

Wow Ron, you didn't do all of that in (5) days,,, did you?
Very nice....

Would you be willing to share some of your techquics for preparing the wood, what type of staining, or sealer you use on this stuff.

I have several pieces of berch wood I would like to do this to. If you would be willing to share some info about it, please send me an e-mail, Thanks...

Quality masterpiece. Amazing what mother nature provides for us to craft from. The beauty of wood should never, never be covered up with paint...that's my opinion.
