Thanks Folks,

The stain is Minwax Provincial 211. I considered fuming and mixing my own
stain, but after checking out a few of Minwax's stains, if thought
Provincial was very nice and was close enough to the Stickley stains for me.
The finish is an Ace high gloss "Tung Oil Finish" that is actually an
oil-varnish. I have some tung oil and might have used that if I had it
first. It gives a little more of a naked wood look and less gloss.

The designs are "ripped" from various other designs in magazines including
the L & JG Stickley catalog with modifications of my own. I can say one
thing about building this type of furnitu Use a story stick. It takes
about a half day to design something on one, but from there it is just
transferring the information directly from one to the wood you are using.
