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.

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...
