I have yet to try staining and texturing but that is the sort of thing I would be pleased to produce, nice one.
Thank you. I have always been afraid setting to a nicely turned piece as that is what you need to start with as any flaws in the finish can show through in certain places, but once you get over that then it is just a case of finding different ways which you can use to enhance that piece. They will not always work but have fun doing it and turn away the failure which is what can be done in many cases.
Watch plenty of U tube videos you will need to sort what is good and what is rubbish
