I just want the area around my desk to look nicer.
I had this cheap scrap plywood stand that I put "temporarily" under my printer a few years ago, and I wanted to replace it with something that matched the rest of my desk, which is made of walnut.
Building a stand out of walnut seemed a bit extravagant, so I thought I'd try veneering it out of thin bits of walnut. But I discovered that I just don't have much scrap walnut right now. I wanted to keep this a cheap/free scrap-wood project so I looked at what ELSE I had on hand and picked out some junky Ash lumber. There was enough to build the stand, but the question now was if I could stain it to look like Walnut.
Do you think I succeeded?
