Swamphunter Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Four years ago I completed a hope chest for my wife but never put a finish on it as we couldn't decide.... well today I am at home preparing for my daughter Aspen's 7th birthday, and I am finally staining it and then will add a rub on poly after it has dried for a few days! My wife is in for a surprise also! I'll post a pic when the stain is dry enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I had to go back and re-read it. I saw you were making it for your wife, which sounded strange....BUT if my old lady left me, i'd make her one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
