This is my first stained
This is my first stained piece of furnature. I got the wood for free and didnt want to paint over the grain of the wood. This was also my Mother's Day gift to my mom so I wanted it to turn out perfect. She seemed to love it and I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks Ana for all the great tips and ideas.
