    After the primer, I stained it china red. It looks more orange than red to me. I put a coating of red oak after this but it hasn't dried yet.

    Thanks Feanor. I know that you are or have been a bit of a DIYer. I'm glad you like it.
    The base will end up black. I was thinking that with a 9&1/2 month old in the house, it's only a matter of time before something gets shoved under the driver. So I'm putting a netting like material around the base. It's made of a tough plastic so it should keep out the unwanted objects.
