But if I have anything to say.... classic grey stain bottom. Top dark stain. Maybe expresso, tobacco, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I asked, mainly because construction lumber tends to warp, because it's rarely fully dried, Stain and a finish, might be a workable plan, but there are places where you'll have a hard time being sure you've sealed the wood. Paint tends to cover those areas a little better. I like the design, but construction lumber will give you problems over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
