  1. Gordie that one would sell in a heart beat. Great job. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW
  2. Water based stains do not do well on pine, neither do oil based, Alcohol based however tend to work much better as the alcohol will dilute the resin in the wood grain allowing the dye to penetrate. I would however try it on a piece of the pine that was used for the table first to get a good idea on how it is going to act. They do make a wood conditioner for pine so that it will accept stain more evenly. I would be interested in hearing how your finishing turns out. DW

  5. Great work Kevin. Prep is the key to greatness. You don't prep you get mediocre output. Get some sleep my friend and all will work out fine. DW
  6. If you want purple there are several ways to do this. One - Clothing dye - although the water will raise the grain a bit. Two - Food Coloring mixed with denatured alcohol will do the trick as well without raising the grain like using a water based product. Three - Watered down acrylic paint - watered down to the consistency of skim milk. Those are the easiest to do. There are some others that use caustic chemicals that I would not recommend to use. Hope this helps DW
