Thanks peoples,
Been busy/distracted with other endeavors for a week or so. I was, however, able to mess around with some finishing stuff a few days ago and tried some light colored milk paint on top of the dark stain and wiped it back off for that antique-y look. I may have been a little heavy with it and I might try to steel wool some of it out or either hit it again w/ a little mo' dark stain.

Got a busy weekend ahead too so I probably won't get too much done with it. Hopefully i can squeeze in a couple of hours tomorrow and get dem buggahs seated and put some paddles in their hands. I want to close this project out within the next 5 or 6 days (said that before) so'z i can get on something else. I should have some stuff ready to post in 'other crafts' soon--check back!
the fab five:

a bit sloppy but they should clean up right nice, I hope:

thanks fer peepin' --
