I stained myself!

OOP! I mean, I stained all by myself. hehehehehehI'm proud. I found a can of some kind of maple stain that has been in mygarage for almost 8 years (here when I moved in) and never tried staining soI got the screwdriver and almost could not pry the lid off. The lip wasjust bending but finally....I took a foam brush and brushed it on a picture frame I just made using mycheap miter saw and ex-Crapsman router after I had wood-glued it together.The stain looked really nice but I learned a lesson. heheheheNever stain wood AFTER you wood glue if you wipe glue on top of it. Well,it's all just practice. But it is not too noticeable. The fumes were toughduring the staining but I have a big garage so I just left after I evenedout the coat.Do you normally stain w/one coat or multiple coats? Is it okay to not put avarnish or finish on the wood after a stain? I have some tung oil in thegarage too from 8 years ago. Would that work AFTER a stain???Tim

As I've said before, there is no disputing taste. Tom Someday, it'll all be over....

I know the type. :)

I know what you mean there too. My "organic" banging on the keyboard thing is actually pretty melodic by these standards, but as far as someone trying to play it from a score, I think it would be seriously challenging to duplicate this particular bit of obnoxious noise.
