Stain and Polyurethane
Sandpaper


Place in a garage in 97 degree heat, 70 percent humidity for 6 hours.  Add a sprinkle of perspiration and determination.

  3. Nice, nice, nice job. The fabric may be a bit lightweight, but if you love it, it's always worth it. May I post your project on wwww.ModHomeEc.com?
