SWEET project! As a fan of natural wood finishes, I would struggle staining something like this. But, WOW, this looks terrific. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Play / be safe.

Thanks everybody… I had a hard time accepting the whole "black" color idea, but at the end of the day I was pleased with the finish. I too, like you Mayflower tend to stick to natural wood finishes so this was quite an adventure. Let me share though that General Finishes makes a heck of stain… There is no question that this is black. I saw some video on youtube of Charles Neil working with this particular color, but he also added India ink to the product for a darker finish. In my opinion, I don't really see how you can get much darker than the pure stain itself.
