Better wood working day today

Well, I was driving to the hardware store today and guess what I saw sitting on the curb?  An entertainment center and 2 chairs.

Of course I had to stop and load them up.  They will go to good use.  I will take some pictures tomorrow.

I was able to get some work done on one of my clocks today.  I got it finished sanded and the first coat of stain on it.
I am trying something different with the stain this time.  I normally do use a "wood" colored stain, Honey Oak being one of my favorites, but when I was at the hardware store today I saw an Indigo Blue stain.  Sounded interesting so I bought it.
It is a water based stain that you apply with a rag or pad since it comes in a tube.  Wear gloves!  It washes off easily though :)

I didn't take any pictures of the stain job yet either.  I wanted to let it dry overnight and see how it looks in the morning.

So stay tuned for tomorrow is a big picture day!
