and decided after I threw a chain to leave the oak for a while and try some walnut

Looking good Steve,
now all you have to do is carve a real good looking body to go with it...
Happy Safe Carving...

Great use of White wood Steve.

Seal it quick . Because its sap wood  The white tends to crack a shade more than the dark wood. Love walnut its great wood to carve.
