Is that pine or Douglas fir from say, Home Depot? It DOES look very nice either way. Did you seal it after staining? If so, with what?
It is pine from classicparts.com - pre cut. Two coats of furniture lacquer from True Value hardware. Not to shiny. Thanks
Hope you keep it garaged- I do not think that furniture lacquer offers much uv protection, and coats is not a lot of lacquer. It does look nice!
