Over the past weekend I stained, or painted, the first coat for all of the piece of the desk. The best method to stain walnut wood is to use clear satin polyeurathane and use long strokes. Since staining the finished pieces is very risky business, the process had to be very slow and precise to make sure there is no dripping and no puddles.
The first part of the coating. I started on the easiest piece, the side panel. There aren't any mortises in the way, or tenons to avoids. It went well for the most part with minor dripping on each side. My plan for the next few pieces is to put as little substance on my brush at a time as I can to try and avoid any dripping or excess.
