Build looks great man. You have another sister so I can also be a brother in law and get sweet gifts?

I'll be applying the finish soon enough.

Good to see you again Scherz!

Sweet like cake!

Alas, there hasn't been any cake for quite a while. These have been dark days indeed.

In person it's stunning, I almoast feel like the figure actually moves... I think it does.

excellent build thread:

one question though: how does one keep stain from getting on the binding when you stain the top?

Well, I think that a lot of people mask the sides to protect them from the stain. Personally, I tried it, and found that it's worse to mask it, as the stain can somehow seep through the edge?

What I did on this one (and it came out perfect) was to rub the stain with a cloth, and be careful not to touch the sides. Sounds risky, but it's actually quite difficult to stain the sides this way.

I know what you are thinking, and the answer is yes. Yes I did make a burst by hand. that was the tough part.
