    I?ve had some staining to do myself. Got part of it done on a semi warm day. Did some of it yesterday. Applied in the cold garage and then carefully moved the project into my climate controlled living room to dry.

    speaking of the "tree huggers" Anyone else see this bit of info

    https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/09/...ia-washington/


    The car / hot rod crowd is OUTRAGED CA & WA is doing this. How dare they ban them, based on the brake pads composition!!!

    I set the fire by saying, Well now you know how gun owners feel. WELL THAT'S DIFFERENT, as is the usual response. When one points out the capricious & arbitrary way legislators make things illegal. One never believes everyone is one signature away from loosing another freedom / choice. Until it happens to them.

    All the more reason to not stop in those states and just pass on through.

    Thought about staining inside but the top is 74"x39" and with the heat coming on it would be too hard to keep crap out of it.

    Yea thats no joke, spent over $100 in fasteners and stain / poly alone. Between that, legs and top this desk came in at about $400 ish. But it'll be a nice desk and make the wife happy.

    To answer your question Kazoo, the materials for those boxes came in right around $800.

    Been watching NFR from Texas this year.

    Some amazing livestock and great cowboys and cowgirls.
