42-1008P Stain *Cabinet Done*
#31

So here is what I am wondering about.

I believe the unit had original finish on it so from what I can see the trim piece that comes up along side the door is dark like other dark areas (red oval) and then hits a transition or swirl into that flat side piece (orange circle) and then the flat side (blue circle) is just about as toned as the face.

Does that seem to be what I should be going after?

Just when you think you have a section looking good the sun hits it just right and you see a bad sanding job Icon_sad

Going to move on and figure out if I want to worry about fixing it.

I'm not all that good at this wood stuff.

Edisla, don't give up. You have been working hard on it. Maybe just sand a little more with finer sand paper and it will look nice when covered with clear, etc. Icon_smile Don't forget to always sand WITH the grain.

I may give in a little but will not give up.

Well here is how it came out.

Not exactly how I wanted it but it is close enough.

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift
