I disliked the wood so much I felt like I had to paint it, so I did, with flat-black spray paint (UGH!). I discovered that every time someone touched it, it would leave fingerprints, so I buffed it with a piece of leather, and it turned out shiny, and not prone to fingerprints, much to my surprise! No more black paint and no more PT! For me, It WAS a good learning thing though. There, that feels better. Next I'm going to try some bigger stuff. [ Edited by: tikigap 2009-10-27 15:12 ]
