Stickley inspired Entertainment Center #11: Stain Before Glue

Stained this unit before gluing and I had much better results than I did with the stain when we made our X-box 360 Entertainment Unit. . On the X-box Unit the vertical edge where a shelf meets the side support shows darker stain. On this method there is no stain inconsistency in the vertical side since it was done at one staining.
