Like I said... its all a life lesson... sometimes harder to learn at times... Tikifish... they all have to be fine sanded and stained yet... I'm waiting for warmer temps before staining in the basement... it never dries correctly in temps below 70... you make a good point though! [ Edited by: Lake Surfer on 2004-01-27 11:17 ]
