Stain test

I only had a bit less than an hour to put into fun today, so I decided to try the gel stain on a piece larger than a scrap.



I'm glad that I tried to stain one of the least visible shelf first as I learned a few things:

• Sand thouroughly even if it looks fine. Stain isn't going to be kind to irregularity
• Get rid of glue patches. This isn't a huge deal in this case but it doesn't take much to cause a blemish.
• Change cloth and gloves often! These spots of stain spread everywhere... quick.

This is brief, but that's all for now.
