So update today.
What we worked on yesterday.
Finishing off the filling and sanding making sure its beautiful
Staining started
Getting Draws all stained up.
This little bottle of stain goes so far!
Looking good!
Next we need to do a matt varnish to seal it in and add protection.
Then were pretty much done on the build side.

Not a fan of staining that beautiful wood finish, but the project is great.
Ye I had to stain it, so that the colour matches my TV Unit.
As it will be in the corner of my lounge.
If I didn't, I would have multiple coloured woods in the room and it would look like a mess as a whole.
I did umm and arrr about it for awhile, but thought it would be for the best

Incredible project. Been keeping tabs on it for a while. Cannot wait to see the finished piece! Well-jeal 
Just to clarify though - the desk looks fantastic, really do love the work going into it, it'd have been a shame if it was ruined by the staining - however it sounds like you're on the case with it, so I'll sit back for a moment and await some more coats and better camera 
Stunning work, and you'll have something to be very proud of and to keep for a long time, and it'll be a great talking point

I wonder what could be beneath the layers of protection?!
Its like one of those games of pass the parcel!
Oh yes you guessed right!

Many thanks to David from The Laser Hive.
He spent many hours getting this sorted for me, and spent a lot of time getting it just right!

Is it wrong I view this build as hardcore porn?
