Any recommendations for Stain? I'd like a bright finish before sealing
with varathane, and am asking for your experiences.

Any name brands to pump???

I wouldn't stain it at all.

I do need it darker. My friend, the Cabinet Maker calls it " Luan ".

Do you have some spare wood you can test your stain on? Also bear in
mind it darkens with age.
I put Minwax cherry on some luan plywood it came out a bit darker than
I expected. I should have used natural.
The plywood is the back of this cabinet.

The rest of the wood is cypress with cherry

Thanks for the pics. I think I need darker than that for a Boat. Going
by whats there already.

Nice job !!.
