Another flag??!!! Really

Yup - another flag!

In the interests of balancing out the continental divide - I thought I would pay homage to my adopted home country - and more specifically the province  live in!!!!

Well with those clues it's not tough to figure out what's coming eh!

So here's the before (unsurprisingly!) When friends get to hear that you 'makeover' furniture they tend to see you as a great place to offload all of their unwanteds! This was an unwanted that I definitely wanted!
 Et voila!!!! I don't know what made me paint it in the airforce blue? Maybe cos when I looked at it, it seemed a 'masculine' shape. And blue's for buys right?!
Another view!
Close up of the Alberta flag on top. this was my first try at 'painting' (I mean masking off shapes!!!) with various stain I love how this turned out I really do

    That looks great! I thought it was an inlay on top. Great job!

    The top looks awesome! I've been wanting to do a compass like that on a tabletop but I didn't think it could be done!

    That's so kind of you all to say. I knew what I wanted it to look like but had no idea if it would turn out!!! I had visions of stain seeping under tape and all that fun stuff, so that why I put it on in really thin layers.!!!!!

    So you didn't have any issues with the stain bleeding? I'm currently working on a project where I'm going to have 2 colors of stain in stripes (red and dark) and I don't want the colors to bleed into each other - any additional info on this? I planned on using painters tape of course I just wondered if there's any better tips
