It's a little scratch and dent given it's made out of offcuts, scraps and extras from other projects but I think it came out okay. Three coats of fake "tung oil" finish and it came up to a nice warm semi-gloss, and ambered up the pine enough to take the edge off the grain.

Yeah I'm going on a bit of a victory lap here, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.
Congratulations on a successful one nightstand!
(seriously, looks great)
Title definitely feels like a missed opportunity
