Hi,

I'm refinishing my first desk, and I'm through the stripping and the
sanding part. My basic question now is whether to put the desk back
together before staining, etc or finish the individual pieces first.

Thanks!

Aaron

if the assembly hardware will show, then I would assembly it before I
finished it.
