    That new stain brings out the grain in the wood nicely. Good work!

    battle.munky Has the menthol.munky on his back!

    Is that a different knot too? If not, how'd you keep the bristles out of the sealant?

    It kinda looks different, like the bristles are more erect.

    Looks great, btw.

    Thanks. No, same knot. I was just very careful not to get any stain/varnish in the hair.
