I have a hiking staff I made years ago that I was going to burn animal tracks into the wood along with the name for each animal and then finish the wood. I think I've finally realized that the animal track idea, while cool, is out of my skill level and I should just put the finish on it and call it good. It's red mulberry if that matters. I'm trying to figure out which product to use and I have ZERO experience in this field. Anyone have a recommendation?
