Bah. There's an old saying along the lines of "experience is what protects us from doing stupid things... and doing stupid things is how we gain experience".
I put a coat of varathane on the stands last night but it didn't warm up the colour the way I was expecting. Apparently (based on research done *after* applying the finish) oil-based poly finishes dry with an amber hue but water-based finishes dry clear... and all the other pine in the room has an oil-based finish.
Did I mention "Bah !!" ?
