Pizza peel w/ axe handle
Needs a few more coats of mineral oil and I’m overall happy with the result. I wanted to blend the color where the hickory handle and cherry board meet, but that’s more of a challenge.

What do you think they look like !?

At this point I'm only sharing to warn others: don't stain pine stair treads.

Hello,
It's me again.

For those who don't know...

I tore carpet off our stairs.
I stripped the horrendous alligator skin sealant and stain off with Ready-Strip.
I sanded: 40, 60, 80, 120 grit. Using various sanders; belt sander, orbital sander, and multitool.
I tried to stain yellow pine treads with Behr water-based stain in Rustic Brown. It was blotchy.
I resanded with 120, and I mean I sanded the way you're supposed to, I didn't half ass it.

(You'll see some photos that look passable upon first glance, but if you zoom in and in person, they looked like hell. It's just lighting, so don't believe photos on the Internet

For those who already know...

After re-sanding, I tried Varathane oil based gel stain in Briarsmoke. The result highlighted the blotchiness.

So, at this stage, I decided i'd "paint" with the stain.
I applied it very sparingly and then spread it around with a papertowel, leaving some excess.
I removed enough of the excess to allow it to dry.
That was 2 hrs ago. It is drying well.

For the stubborn humans, like me, who have to learn things the hard way by experiencing it yourself: don't try to stain old pine treads!! It's not worth the headacheor heartbreak. No amount of sanding or prestain will change things. Disregard the couple of YouTube videos showing how to stain pine.

If you're bound and determined to keep your beautiful old pine treads, I suggest: sand, maybe use wood bleach a few times and seal them.

For those who don't understand, I believed these treads were hardwood; oak or ash until too far into the project. I know am certain they are yellow pine.

The photos are in chronological order. I shared the stained white carpet photo to show WHY I undertook this project. Not only was the carpet disgusting, I also fell down the stairs one too many times. And tore it off while enraged.

The last photo shows the treads now. No, I do not like them.

I don't regret doing this. The stairs are much cleaner and less slippery than with carpet. And I learned alot so that's been entertaining.

Tomorrow, I'll decide if I'm going to give up and paint.

What do you think I can do to make this more beautiful? It is just feel so good that got the tree up again. .

Holiday Banister Advice
thank you in advance for any advice you can send my way.

This is our family’s second Christmas in our mountain home that we built starting in 2020. Last year we were only a few months moved in, so I didn’t do much in the way of holiday decor. This year, we’ve got the tree up in the entryway and the staircase banister decked in garland, but are trying to figure out what to do with this loft banister that overlooks our family room.

The banister is about 15 feet wide with three “sections” as you can see in the picture. We want to decorate it for the holidays to cozy up the family room overall, but don’t necessarily want to do the same garland we used on the staircase banister (you can’t see either from each other at any point in the house).

Any advice on what to put here? Wreathes? Paper snowflakes? Something else? Open to any and all ideas!

Opinion on paint job

We had painters come in and paint our whole house. After looking at the details, we’ve noticed quite a few imperfections. Is this normal or did we get a bad paint job? Some photos as examples.

Mazda CX-5 bed platform

Didn’t see a lot of builds for the cx-5 so here’s my simple bed platform. Built if for less than $100 using some 2x4 and a full sheet of 3/4in plywood. It can be stowed away in the trunk and can be configured for 1 or 2 people.
