Thanks Ron. Looks good. I can see what you were talking about the color hiding the grain but the color looks good. I'll use that color and will try the medium first. I could always stain the wood first which would make the grain stand out. The problem I have with staining is it can make the overall color blotchy. I'm going to mask off the front and strip the sides and top.
The medium looks real good in the center and I'll use that as well. My decal looks good so I'll be able to save it. The top-front is the worst with lots of finish nicks. Icon_sad

The front is nice with just the small nicks in the top area to the left of the decal shown in the photo. The bottom is real nice.

Overall I think you did a great job Icon_biggrin

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photo which was attached to this post is no longer available.
