Default My Latest Ornament with dark stain
Because the chips aren't right next to each other on these designs I decided to try a dark gel stain. I gave it a couple of coats of satin polyurethane, stained it with Georgian Cherry and then a few more coats of poly. The pictures aren't great. I'm going to try and take some nicer ones for my etsy shop tomorrow. Then I'll list it there.

I set up my light box and took some better pictures. You can see the red of the stain now. I now have it listed in my shop.
