My first 3d carve for a friend. Experiment in poplar. Still have to finish stain it. Hope I don’t ruin it. Picture of my carve and a picture of the jpeg that came with the file. If anyone has any advice on how to finish/stain this to bring out the details that I did get I would appreciate the help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/a/9/a92df6d358ad61650c1c59f15e8020e580fbf559.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/c/e/cefa75f529b09a15abe03e0fc809c660527b4c68.jpeg) ---

Almost finished staining. I’m not too sure about it but it is what it is. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/1/3/13dc3403c7e29b65f6d837df55486477122088bc.jpeg)
