When I’m not composing, I have a side business staining furniture called Scrumtrulescent Stainery. Here you can see some of my handywork: before, after strip/sanding, and after the completed staining and finishing. Also, the first sentence is not intended to be a factual statement.

At any rate, I spent the whole weekend doing this, but it was fun to see the end result (by “end result” I mean terrible muscle pain from bending over the table while staining).
