Thanks!

My Aunt was thrilled to get it!

Greg: believe it or not, it's well-aged alder. I use Pratt & Lambert Clear Base oil stain (the stuff that they add tints to in order to create custom colors) to seal all my carvings before painting & as you can see it does a truly awesome job bringing out the grain & colors of the wood. Unfortunately it's hard to find locally (only one store carries it it Western Washington so far as I know) but it's totally worth the trouble!
