I am more about learning to carve wood...it actually wasn't as hard as I thought...also learning about stains.....water based stains suck...they raise the grain and require a lot more work.

I’ve done quite a bit of wood carving Casey. Requires very sharp tools, of varying shapes. V-, U-, straight for the kind of carving you are doing. Chip carving knives are handy too. For bigger stuff, gouges of different sizes, V-shaped and chisels that you strike with a hammer.
For the color you are going for, wood dyes do a much better job than colored stains. The color is much deeper and brighter.
