Good Morning Everyone,
Yes, I'm starting this off a bit early.
I got the chair pieces made and I've spent a lot of money and time trying to match the existing stain color and finish. Needless to say that I'm frustrated over it and I can't keep spending money on colors, stains, dyes, and time to see how I can get a finish that is close to the original finish. The original wood appears to be Honduran Mahogany but I couldn't see spending $100 on wood (I'd have to order wood since local suppliers don't carry anything but Oak and Pine). So I chose Poplar and I'm so frustrated on this that I could scream. I'm already not going to make one penny profit on this deal. I just want to finish it and call the customer to come and get it out of my shop. If I can just break even, I'll call it good and a lesson learned.
That's it for me, so what did YOU do this past weekend?
Best of weeks to you all.
