#MakersmARTch day 23. Stain when chip carving, it’s remarkable how much staining a piece can alter its appearance. Basswood really should be sealed before staining, but I was in a hurry.

#MakersmARTch if you're ever in south central Germany (is that a thing?) There's a whole museum dedicated to thimbles! Check out their site, there are a few tid bits of interesting info on there. And some cool looking thimbles from ancient times.
