The stain I used was quite a few shades darker than the sample piece and this wood soaked it up like crazy. So now I'm painting over the burned pieces since I don't want to sand this thing for half my life. XD The burned areas give the paint an interesting look snd texture in person. #mammen #mammenstyle #mammengodmask #mammenodin #odin #godmask #wotan #woden #wodin #asatru #asatruar #heathen #heathenry #viking #vikings #norse #medieval #woodburned #handpainted #basswood #art #artist #pagan #paganism #scandinavian
