improve my finishing skills. Our house came with no window trim and basic composite doors and trim. I bought trim, stairs, doors, and floors for the house. All of it is red oak and the only thing that was finished was the 3/4" thick flooring which was done in gunstock. So I had to stain all the trim, doors, and floors with gunstock colored stain and poly it. This was a huge improvement to our home and I've learned a few things about finish work!
