Just finished my first Hollow Spiral carving!
I think the wood is not happy with my skills
Question about sanding and finishing
Hi all! Looking for help learning about the origin of this chair... it seems like a strange carving to have on a rocking chair. Thanks for any help you can give! To best knowledge, early 20th century.

Question about sanding and finishing

I'm brand new to this and about to start my first carving. It'll be small—a few inches—and out of basswood. What grits of sandpaper should I get to sand it down? And what type of oil is best for finishing/sealing? I have a fire phobia so linseed is out. Is beeswax good on its own?
