These two aren't related but I just wanted to offer up what I did yesterday.  The V-bit carving is for our church office manager.  They have three dogs but I guess Ruger is the most photogenic. ;)  This is cut into Maple and is about 6" x 10".

 

The US Flag is for my 16-year old nephew.  He asked for a simple one he can hang on his wall and this should work just fine.  It's about 21" across and made of Baltic Birch.  I just think it's awesome that a 16-year old wants a US Flag on his wall!

 

Both are finished with Nitrocellulose sanding sealer, then wiped with Mohawk Van Dyke Brown glazing stain which is wiped off about as soon as I apply it, then the final coat is semi-gloss lacquer.  The finish takes less than an hour from bare wood to finished piece.

I just realized that I typed this when my daughter was visiting and correctly referred to him as her nephew so that's what I typed, but... the flag is for my grandson. Oops! :rolleyes:

For those I used Carveco.  Most of my work is done in Fusion 360 but these are far more suited to Carveco.
