    So as many of you that have seen my build thread know I am upgrading to a 225. So I built a Beautiful stand and am close to the staining part. I have narrowed it down to one in that I really like - but thought I would have a little fun to see what you all think and please - if there is a color stain you like please post up.

    obviously a lot will depend on the other furniture and color present in the same room....

    Thank you! It is going in the living room where the current tank is. The curet tank is a dark wood, I have oak floors, and holding the sample board to theat I think I definiatly want to go darker than lighter. I think I might go with the English Chestnut, I love how it pulls out the grain. It will also have a few coats of satin poly after I stain it.
