@jmcmi93888 That looks really good! Keep going 🙂

@darrenking I found this web site a while ago, it gives plans as digital download loads.

@rocknroller912 yeah very displeased with my Frankenfinish! I took to it with the random orbital in the end and took it right back finishing by hand with the grain. First coat of deep colour went on w...
