This is a TV stand that was built for some friends of mine. It was completed in April 2010. Of course, when you get a new TV you have to get a new TV stand. They looked through some of my books and found a layout that they liked and I turned it into a corner unit. What I like about the corner unit is it looks very thin, but has enough room for DVD, VCR, and other components.
The finish is my version on Cappuccino. I dye the wood using a universal brown dye (2 parts), universal red dye(1 part) and Lacquer Thinner (140 parts). Yes I said 140 parts. The dye is very strong and is thinned way down. The dye is expensive so that is a good thing. Also it flashes off (dries) in seconds. I then stain it with Ivory stain from Minwax.
The raised panel doors hide CD’s and DVD’s, while leaving the center open for the components.
Here is the raw video of the build:

Another really great piece Chris.
It goes perfect with that nice TV.
Smart idea taking advantage of that corner space.

Is that a spray on stain? I am new to all this, and have only ever seen, and put on stain, via wiping and wiping and wiping.
That seems much easier.

That is a multi stage process. I sprayed a dye first, then sprayed a wiping stain and removed it by wiping, then the finish coat.
The picture is of the dye style and it has to be sprayed.
You may be asking about the wiping stain. I always spray the wiping stain too. It is much easier and faster. If you use a regular cup gun, turn the air down at the gun, that way not as much particles goes in the air. The low presser will make it be splotchy but it doesn’t matter you’ll wipe it.

That’s very nice looking and very well presented.
