Now, to add a little color.

If you still have any rough patches on the wood, now is the time to sand them.  Make sure you wipe off any sawdust before continuing on.  Separate your crossbeam from the blade.

Following the directions on your wood stain, brush a thin layer onto the wood. Use paper towels or a cloth to wipe up or smooth out any excess.  Don't forget to stain the insides of the feet and the crossbeam piece of the blade. Depending on how dark you want it, you can apply more than one coat.

Now use the silver spray paint on the blade. Once the first side is coated, flip it over and do the reverse side.  Don't forget to get the thin edges as well.

Let everything dry fully.
