[QUOTE="MartinH, post: 190600, member: 1494"] Here is a new attempt at the stain. I wasn't happy with the darkness of my first attempt. After sanding the thing lightly, I diluted the liquid stain a little with denatured alcohol. On this particular go around, I think I got a better handle on buffing the thing, as it turned out much shinier and the grain shows really well. There may still be some work to do on the shank of the stummel, as it's not 100% proportional and needs to be evened out. As I was buffing, I noticed a horrible dip in the shank, where my hand must have slipped. :) At any rate, I'm proud of this one, so I want to show it off. :) [url=http://www.flickr.com//photos/74861021@N07/show/with/6737345353/]Flickr Slideshow[/url] [/QUOTE]
