Best Project wood

Short update

I stopped by Rockler the other day to pick up another Clampit.  I think putting together the first couple of supports on the hall tree would have been easier if I had 2 of them to clamp at the same time.  They also had the mini Clampits on sale for $4.99 so I picked up a couple of them as well.  If you look in the top righ corner of the picture you can see where I had the pocket screw split the wood.  I glued it back together and clamped it but now my wife wants me to stain it instead of paint it.  The screw is really close to the surface so I may just pull it out now that everything is glued together.  There is still a screw on the bottom half and I dont think it should come loose.
