But more playing with colours. Sanded, more stain added / reworked .

Still some issues with covering some patches. Not sure why as there's no joins for there to be glue or the like. I'm wondering if there's an issue with the timbermate filler and the sanding sealer I used. The sanding sealer specifically says for use prior to staining so it should have been alright.....

Anyway I'm still not sure about it. Not quite right.... and a bit blotchy. Centre looks nice, but not 100% happy with the edges.
