Thanks for the quick reponse. It looks like ill be painting the chest but I’ll try to stain on some scraps, which I have a lot of :) first to see how it turns out. I know from reading multiple articles that poplar does not stain as easily as other woods but I thought I would ask as I do want the chest to look like it was build out of wood and not some cheap painted particle board material. Anyways I’ll post the finished result as soon as I am finished with it..
