I will.

Although the stain isnt gonna be that even, the bottom (bigger block of wood) is made out of Bass and the top lid is made out of pine, so I'm going to most likly end up with a 2 tone effect on it. Smile

Not completed really, waiting for the finish to dry to post pictures. Smile

Decided not to finish it at first then decided out of the blue to finish it. So now I'm finishing the job so to speak. Smile

Looks nice after 2 and a half coats so I decided not to put anymore, the coats were on the outside, just put one light coat on the inside (didn't want to soak the foam or unglue the foam). Smile
