Barb,
A coat of sealer or poly applied before the color will reduce the tendency to bleed. I've also done the carving/routing first and then applied the finish to the carved areas. Then sanded the whole face of the work, followed by the final clear finish over the whole piece. If any bleeding occurs the final face sanding usually removes it.
