Should've would've could've done

Should've jogged this evening. Instead, I applied the first coat of stain to the oak vent registers I'll be installing in the kitchen and living room. An oak stain for the white oak kitchen registers, and maple stain for the red oak living room pieces.

Amazing, the difference that one coat of stain can make. There's nothing like good wood.

I've heard about those, too. I'll remember it as another option.

One good thing about all this is that I'll be working on baseboard edges. I should be able to ease them away from the wall an inch or two prior to cutting. It's going to be a pain, but the stained oak registers and returns are going to look so much nicer than the pinky-brown metal things they're replacing. The only advantage the pinky-brown metal had is that it could be bent to fit to some extent. A quarter inch difference in length? No biggie. With wood, it makes a difference.
