Popular Post steven newman Posted May 10 Author Popular Post Report Posted May 10 Stain has been allowed to dries a couple days.. Yep, but this IS the inside... And..this is the back of the Cabinet... And the front... Trying to figure HOW to varnish the entire thing at once....

I am always curious to find out more about the makers and possibly see more of their work. Not sure but maybe this is possibly him?
