which, by the way, is beautiful. I'd love to see those things stained and finished!Actually, I posted the question because I have been reading about these issues and was beginning to doubt the judiciousness of my planned approach. Thank you for your advice. I'm going to try my hand at making some frames out of inexpensive materials - not to use, but simply to learn by doing it.
I'm not a woodworker, but I like to do things. I made my entertainment cabinet which isn't fancy, but it sure is solid and looked nice stained. I don't like it as much in the glossy black finish, but I wanted to try that finish before building the next cabinet - to go with a 46" LCD TV (later this year, I hope).
