Wood Working
Someone asked me what stain I use. I stained the pine projects "Moorish Teak" to make the wood darker but, on all the other projects, I did not stain the wood. The birch projects are coated with polyurethane, which tended to make the wood a bit more blonde than the raw wood color, and all the other woods are covered only with several coats of clear laquer.
