my first project and I am thrilled with the results. This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and son in law. I wanted something a bit rustic looking so I used inexpensive 'whitewood' and one light coat of stain (Cabernet) that I wiped off right away, then sanded the edges down. I loved using some of the tools my dad has given me.

Estimated Cost
$26.00
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
'Cabernet' (Can't recall the brand)
1 light coat and wiped off immediately. I just used what was on the rag to wipe the top board as I did not want it too dark.
