Worked for 3 hours this morning getting the stain as close as possible. Here is the end result. In 4 or so hours i can put on the first coat of urethane . Lot more satisfaction than just plunkin down the ol creditcard.Oh and this is cell phone camera, will take a couple with my good cam when done. The biggest mistake i made was not inspecting the wood before putting it on. The piece i used for the front had serious tool marks in it,but dark stain tends to hide the defects plus the grill will cover it.
