Thanks to Steve @ M/M for the idea. This is #2 of 3 for requested Christmas gifts. Its my first use of gel stain and my last. I have a real dislike for this product. The wood is popular. It machines nice. I will try a different finish on #3 and hope it turns out better.

I really like this design. Although simple, it’s very eye-catching and functional.

Nice design!!! I’m not sure what issue you had with the stain but I have heard that Poplar doesn’t take stain very well.

This is really neat. I have a ton of books but my regular bookends tend to slide around at the slightest bump…this would be perfect.

Thanks for sharing!!!

If the gel stain is giving you issues, you may want to try a conditioner on the wood first…I was always against using it, but it makes a huge difference….and the gel does take some getting used to…nice job on the project!!!
