    Oh gosh that looks good. Did you stain with mahogany first and sand it back, or is that just golden teak?

    Popped with ‘hog’ first. Sanded as much as I possibly could without going through the top. Then stain with golden teak. The residual ‘hog’ is probably part of what is making it a more orange gold than yellow gold.

    I’ve decided I need a light tan stain for the back. Not too dark, but a bit darker than the natural colour.
