A Project for May?

[bandit571]

Usually, I don't...takes way too long to get the smell out...

Thanks for looking in!

Never seen idea of adding the drain holes on the varnish can before. Thanks.

Yep, been doing that for years. Works great!

Had to add a second coat to the Top of the case..

   
otherwise, this Project is about done...waiting on varnish to cure..

Kind of dark in that corner?

   
Tried to lighten it up a bit..Left corner is a bit brighter, though

   
Pulled a drawer out a tad...

   
And a look at the front..

   

Thanks for looking in!

Looks great! Excellent job.

Care to share your stain mix? I use a lot of Ash, always finish with wipe on poly as I've never found a stain that looks good (to me).

I took all the small cans of leftover stains...and an empty quart can...and just mixed them all together...I can vary the flavour a bit, by either adding in some darker brown stains , or, in this case about half a small can of Minwax "Gunstock"

Witch's Brew....remember to add the "Eye of Newt, wing of a bat..." Stir well, does not need a boiling kettle..

This way, all I ever throw away are empty cans...


Next time, you might give Minwax Gunstock a try on Ash...

And .....Delivered..
