PHOTO 1: The two 11" length x 3/4" square hardwood standoffs are now glued to the bottom of the fight box.

PHOTOS 2, 3 & 4: The first drawer (top) is now completed. Had to do a bit of filing to get it to slide smoothly.

PHOTO 5: The Minwax Polyshades stain and polyurethane one-step I plan on using. I wanted a slightly darker look so I am going with a Olde Maple Satin stain.

QUESTION: Although the stain is a one-step formula will I need a wood conditioner (also made by Minwax) to soften the wood to make a better, more even color-tone? Or is the stain enough?
