So I've almost completed the build of this piano shell: http://ift.tt/2vHwCCq Legs are on the way in the post, so all I need to complete this is to decide and apply the stain.Looking for advice about the finish to make it look like this shell I tried to copy: http://ift.tt/2vpFamn I use a dark stain and then polish it? Should I also use varnish to protect it? Or is a varnish even necessary?For context, it will be used for gigs, so lifting in and out of the van frequently, so I expect a few bumps and scratches.The material is Mahogany wood veneered MDF...thanks in advance! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2wQUEjr
