Finishing the Front Window

Finishing is always the stuff you don't want to do and it takes the longest it seems.

Had to frame out the window

The bottom board I wanted to stain and made it wider so it would be a shelf.  Really happy with the way it turned out. I used my own homemade stain(vinegar in a plastic container then you add some plain fine steel wool to it with a paint stick to keep the wool submerged. Don't forget to pop holes in the lid. Let this marinate for a week then strain out the wool remnants and presto you have stain) I used my stain first and then used an ebony over top.

I think the finished window looks great.
