Well, the photos of it stained and finished do not look so great -- it looks a bit dark, muddy and busy:

I think it looks a lot better in real life, and will look a lot better once it is filled. Having said that, I think maybe next time I will try a much more natural light golden stain, rather than the reddish brown one I've been using...
Once again I used a lot of coats of a thin wipe-on urethane (Arm-R-Seal satin). It creates a very nice looking and feeling finish that is quite forgiving to apply. The downside is it takes 5-8 coats so it's very time consuming. The stain is a water-base aniline dye, which I find a lot less prone to blotching than other types.

It doesn't blend in quite as well as it did previously. That said, it's still a nice piece of work and will look quite different when it's filled.
