That way I can be a little less careful with the glue. Staining the pieces seperately is also easier than trying to remove excess stain from tight corners in the assembled piece. If I'm going to apply a finish over the stain, I'll do that after assembly. -- \\\ \\\\ Art Stadlin \\\\\\________!{akgua,ihnp4,houxm}!hou2h!stadlin
