David, this is a nice looking pieces of furniture. You are right that poplar can be a challenge to stain. In addition to blotching it also has a tendency to have greenish and other off color areas. It looks like you did a good job with the dye in getting a uniform color and you put a nice finish on it as well. Too many woodworkers think that poplar is only to be painted. But with a care and a little effort it can be stained/dyed and makes for a pretty wood, as you have shown with this piece.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very handsome piece of furniture. The poplar looks great and the finish is beautiful. You did a good job on turning the legs and the dovetails for the drawer.

I love it. Very nicely done … Now I wanna make one.

I like this. Turned out great.

Your finish on poplar turned out real nice. What color analine dye? Uh, it wasn’t the color I used on my poplar table. I did have issues with trying to dye… but I’ll try again on another project

I like your hand cut blind dovetails… I need to try that. Don’t have a lathe so I can’t try the leg turnings that you did… very nice, again. And it just dawned on me that the drawer is at the bottom, not on top… interesting. I like it.

Beautiful washstand. I really like the way you got the poplar to look like that.

-- Remember, measure twice, cut once

Nice washstand.
