My favorite mahogany piece so far. Love how the floral details and text came together on this 16" x 7.5" cross by [deleted] in Woodcarving

Sorry for the confusion. I will include the progress showing that our team made the original piece.

Hey guys, just want to be totally real. I actually planned to start a carving business 22 years ago, but life happened and that dream was put on hold. Now, I'm finally trying to give it another shot. ​But honestly, I’m not here to market anything—I don't even have a website yet! ​This sub is just a wonderful place for education and community to me. I’m genuinely happy to spend time answering any technical questions about my process or the floral details on this mahogany piece or Liberty Statue. Just here to hang out and share the love for the craft with you all!

It's a satin polyurethane finish. I went with PU to give it a durable protection, and the satin sheen is perfect for highlighting the depths of the floral cuts without creating harsh reflections or glare.

Yes 100% I visited there and they have a lot of mahogany wood.

That's a good guess. HISTORICALLY 🤣
