I'm happy with it so far.
Sandi...Thanks, Vic. I'm happy with it so far.<br /><br />Sanding the legs lightened them up a lot. I had milled them a couple of weeks before I did the other parts, so they had that much longer to darken with exposure to the light/air/whatever. I also did a sunshine test to verify that the mahogany really does darken like cherry, and it does. So I'm not too worried about the color differences any more. I think the dye will even everything out quite a bit, and any variation that's left will be just because wood is wood. If I wanted a perfectly uniform color, I would slather on some nice brown latex wall paint.rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233272687408131584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-67341544194170085892011-07-04T11:37:30.056-07:002011-07-04T11:37:30.056-07:00DAMN!!
