little bit off a clean up with the dremel and a bit of varnish. I think it will look good enough 😬  |

Excellent. Going to varnish as is or give it some color? Frightened to put Color as I made a mess off last one any recommendations Was it pine? Woods like pine, poplar, cedar have very inconsistent grain structure and can be very blotchy when stained. Use a pre-stain on these woods to make for a more uniform appearance. The problem is magnified with the 3D engraving. You can also use dewaxed shellac. The goal is to pre-fill those areas that want to soak up stain like a sponge. |

Not a problem. FYI, you can dewaxed shellac at big box stores. Marketed as Zinsser Seal-coat.

Looks really good. Aforww gave really good advice on the staining.
I'd love to see the finished product with the hands on it.
