Thanks Bill. I'll drop into Lee Valley to pick up some Aniline Water Stain. It's the only place I know of in Toronto that carrys dye stain. I think everything in the big box stores are pigment stains.

I should start a list of all your advice that I've incorporated into my methods. To date they include:

- homemade circle cutter jig for my router
- rabbeting and groove joint for speaker panels
- mitre frame glue-up with masking tape
- move from urthethane to oil finishes
- and now dye stains

BTW, have you tried Lee Valley's High Lustre Tung Oil. Use it straight out of the can as a final coat gives you a high gloss laquer-like finish.

Gar.
