First actual paying project…it was for a friend so they got a good deal. It was tough getting the stain as dark as they wanted without covering the grain. Learned alot doing this one and want to do another, but not anytime soon

Not one of my earlier projects, but one of my first “big” ones. My sister was expecting her first child and asked if I could build a dresser for the baby. The way she said it kind of sounded like she was expecting like what you’d get from the local “big box” Anyway needless to say she was happy with how it turned out. Biggest issue for me was the stain. The wood is maple and she wanted a reddish tint…...I was NOT happy with how it turned out, blotchy…oh well live and learn
