My father had a nice woodshop growing up and I was always out there with him. I just recently got back into the craft. I cannot for the life of me think of why I didn't get back into it sooner. Christmas 2020, my girlfriend asked me to make a blanket ladder for her mother for Christmas. I ended up making one for her, one for my mom, and one for my secret Santa. I made another and sold it and haven't looked back. Working out of my basement which is wet but moving to the barn when it's warmer.

Thank you so much Sean! I was able to load these all at full resolution by the way with no issue.

Thanks so much for all the advise!! I'll give it some coats of poly in a week then. I was worried of the walnut blonding and thought maybe I could just apply more of that happens in the future.

Yeah pine is very susceptible to blotching. I cleaned it with mineral spirits, used minwax pre-stain, let it sit for about 45 minutes, and then put a pretty heavy coat of black stain. I let that sit for about 5 minutes then wiped it off and was satisfied. The special walnut was the same process but I put 3 coats on. I didn't thin the stain or anything.
