im new to this site and just wanted to say hello and to get some comments on my first attempt at stock making

The basket weave area is pretty nice. Is it carved or an inlay? How is it done?

[Pat Barry]

Well done! Have you decided on a finish?

[liam smith]

the basket weave is carved out. i first marked out the pattern then drilled the holes to a depth of 3mm as a guide to get the weave the same depth then carved the basket weave pattern by rounding down into the holes and then just squared of the holes . it took a long time but was worth it i still have to finish one side as the holes still need squaring (in pic 2 above) these are the pics i learnt from i googled it257119257120

as for the finish i havent got a clue i have asked for some advice on here what would be the best thing and have had a few products mentioned but still undecided
