Step 6Staining or Painting
Staining or Painting
I decided to stain the base a light oak color to match the kitchen cabinets.
It just so happened that it was the only stain I had in the garage, lucky me.
I was thinking cedar, maple, or even a cherry wood color would look really nice.
Before staining I used my router and routed a nice curve shape on all of the edges. I also had some sanding to do to the face of both tiers because they both still had pencil marks.
Now one final fit test after the glue has dried. Place the socket back in the base, insert the bulb, then place the bottle on the base. Turn on the light and see how it looks.
Then it is time for the stain, so apply stain.
