Thanks Bill…I forgot to mention the terror I felt when I got to the staining part in terms of how the grain matching would come out. I did my best “guess” with the unstained wood in terms of grain matching before the glue-up but from experience I know that a piece of wood can be deceiving. Probably not the best on the base but so little of that shows that it didn’t really matter. I got lucky on the top.
