I like the light/natural color better than the stain job.

In fact...It looks pretty good 'smooth' too...

Eugene and I discussed stains and what I'd like - I wanted a lighter color that showed the grain. I also liked it without the checkering, but it would not have looked finished I believe

I am okay with the result

There really is no stain per say on the end product.

Just several layers of true oil.

It does make the wood appear a bit wet / darker.
But it is a natural color without any additions / alterations.
