Howdy everyone,
Well finally I got a day in the shop. I finish sanded and stained the EC.
Problem is that my bookmatched plywood panels in the sides of the case look a bit tiger striped!!! :eek:
I have resanded the lighter boards and restained. That helped a little, but as you can see the dark boards are really the trouble. Any one got any ideas where I might go from here???
This pic makes it look worse than it does in person, but still disappointing after all this grain and color matching.

Here's what they looked like before the stain. They were throughly sanded with 180 before the stain.

Here is the same kind of deal on the doors. Even though these rails were cut from the same board, the uppers are fine and the lowers are light. :mad: The pic makes this look worse than it really is as well.

OR.....am I stressing to much over the deal? :D
TIA,
Terry
