I let the boss choose the color from Minwax's website last night and stopped at the store on the way to work this morning and picked up the stain.
So first thing I checked out my engine and did the obligatory paperwork and we all went up to the coffee shop for breakfast. Then afterwards I used the table under the shade tree behind the fire station to get to work.
After this stain has an 8 hour drying time I'll try to get the first coat of clear on it.
It's looking like its gonna be a great day at work.
