V-Carve picture frame. Cherry, Curly Maple.

This is a picture frame I made recently. I traced the images using Aspire. V-carved all of them with a 60 degree v bit.

The finish is Minwax antique finishing oil and Minwax Ebony stain. I used the technique as shown on this forum by layering the oil first then the stain, then more oil.

Nice thin walls and no tearout on the pineapple Tracy
JUST started playing with oil/stain/oil myself, and not to happy yet, but probably because my pallet selection cupboard is pretty bare.
Congrats.
Just started playing with VCP8's ability to VCarve on a 3D also, which is a neat Aspire feature for us VCP people.
Can you remember which whose VBit and you're Z plunge rate?
