    Oh and I learned staining can be a b**** haha especially with all these small areas and cheap wood. If I were to do it again I might run all piece through a planer to shave a slim layer off. Think that may be why stain looks wonky in some spots. Hell, I’d probably just paint the next or leave it bare.

    I’m recovering a headboard with thin plywood (ripped off the padding) and decided to stain all the wood pieces BEFORE gluing them onto the headboard frame just to keep from having to deal with this exact scenario.

    any staining that can be done prior to assembly is always worth it...

    ‘burning’ gently and ‘distressing’ lightly with a rasp, hammer, gnarly old hunk O’ metal, etc. can sometimes make ‘cheap’ things look a little more interesting. Just an idea...

    looks good enough for holding up your hooch.

    Oh no man, Logan's Run was a trip. I saw it in Jr. High. The gun effects weren't like any other sci-fi movie I'd ever seen because they looked real and nothing I'd ever seen anywhere else for years.

    Next on deck is going to be a headboard for our bed. Can't seem to find one in the stores for reasonable prices that my wife likes so decided to go hotel style with a wall mounted headboard. debating the tufted look, figure I can try it and if we don't like it then it wont be hard to remove.
