Lobster baby lobster! Wow did I not expect that. I wanted red and I got lobster. Mohawk stock alcohol red stain. This is not red! It sure looked more red on my test piece. So now I wanted to tone it darker but I ran out of red. This project needs to be out of my hair today and out the door early next week so I better come up with something quick. I added blue to the sealer and toned it until I got a maroon. But now the orange maple front didn't match at all. (actually nothing will match that hideous color:-)
Sand it down stain it black and call it a day. Spook can change it to a different color down the road or even swap it out for a more consistent or figured piece. For now it's gonna have to do. All it needs is the amp, corners, the handle and feet. It's a wrap.
Here are the pictures:

| Holy shit! That color is insane! Kind of cool though too... |

| This is the stained and sealed maple front. It almost has an amber tone to it. It's the stock red from Mohawk. Bizarre. |
 |
| Here's the final product. I can't say I'm super happy with it but I saved it from Mr. Crabs that's for sure:-P I can look at it and say that's pretty cool. Enough for me to get my 8 hrs of sleep if you know what I mean. |

| This thing will definitely look nice on a Black cabinet. |
