Started finishing a desk set.
Maple sanded to 220.
No pre=stain (ie seal coat)
Finish Barley Chestnut gel stain.

Blotchy... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

fortunately its only the first piece of the set. Was hoping to avoid
doing all the pieces with seal coat. I was looking for a darker color
and sanding sealer means a longer buildup

Oh well, I'll start the sealing process.

I have only been lucky once or twice with gel and blotchy wood.
