Okay, so the holiday season has come and gone
I wasn't as productive as I could have been, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
One minute you're busy making plans, the next minute life clears your schedule.

I finally had the time to get back to work on my hobbies...
hmmm, work on hobbies...
Why do we say we work on our hobbies?
A hobby is something you enjoy doing regardless of whether you get paid for it or not.
Work is usually something you don't enjoy, and if you do enjoy it you just say it's what you do, or call it a caree...

Oh sorry.
There must be something shiny nearby, distracting me.

Anyway, I finally had the time...
My wife said she didn't really care for the original staining, so I thought I would adjust it.
The adjustment scared me so I restained it. It looks better in person.

I put the first coat of stain on this guy.

And finally, the two together to get an idea of the color differences.

Feel free to beat me up regarding color choices, it's all new to me.
And as always, thanks for stopping by.
