breesy,
Timing is everything in life. You caught me at the keyboard this morning.
You sanded it too fine. Try re sanding with 150. There is rarely a need to go past 180 grit when sanding, especially when you are staining it.
What stain?
Peter
it is a mix of cabot red and brown mahogany.thank you for your quick reply
Your welcome. The quick reply was just luck. It usually takes me a few days to get to questions. Let me know how you make out.
