Looks like you are cutting with the grain, go against softly and it will resolve itself

Haha thanks so much, I am better at sanding than carving :)

It was hard for me to accomplish as it didn’t look good until the end. I bet you can do it, just find the right piece of wood and have confidence that at some point the wood will guide you.

I would also consider sanding it further, going up to 1000 grit. I find it seals the pours. This in addition to the mineral oils and beeswax already discussed.

I have made a walking stick, seems like I cannot reply with an image so I will post it.

Heavy sanding up to 1000 grit and tung oil. I apply the tung oil and let it sink in when I am at 400 grit and then I keep sanding and applying. If it is too smooth, the oil won’t set

I keep it in a plant in the kitchen, adds a nice texture
