    Wow. This is looking great. Nice piece of wood you have. The grain looks killer.

    And great job on the bridge route. Mine worked, but was ugly....

    I actually loved the look once you sanded back the first pass of the stain. Would have worked great even then.

    But the color will really pop when you have a finish on there. Looks great so far!
