Vitco shelves pleeze - General Tiki

I didn't use a real dark stain because I was trying to get close to matching the color of my tiki mug shelves. Of course after burning it, the color was a bit darker than the unburned shelves. I also ran into trouble getting an even color on the low relief sections of the Uke holder. They had a tendency not to burn and darken as quick as the raised parts. All in all, I am happy with it and it gets my Uke of the floor! Chongolio -- I believe that our Heavenly Father invented the monkey because he was disappointed in man." ...
