Title: Cactus juice maple

Stabilized with brown dye. Penetrates the wood completely except for the most dense parts. This makes the grain really pop.

Cactus juice is a stabilising resin. You can add dyes to it too.
That has sure turned the maple is something a bit more eye catching.

That riser has 3 coats of a vinyl sealer. That will get sanded and top coated.
