Stamp Carving and More Coasters

Added on by Lara Hoke.

Last night I carved a second stamp for my silhouette coaster project.  It's a simple bust of a buck but I'm pleased with how it turned out.  I'm still getting the hang of the carving tools which are not as forgiving as I would like.  Below is a photo of the new stamp, the impression it makes, the back of my bear stamp, and the tools I used.

As a side note, the coaster in this picture is unfinished, please forgive the inconsistent application of stain...
