180 diy cabinet satin color?

[kkjjjmccann]

hey guys i  almost have my cabinet for my 180 done.  looking for ideas on stain color.
the cabinet structure is made from 2x4s, skinned in mostly solid hickory face and 3/4 plywood hickory on the sides.
looking at either staining it all natural natural to show the natural beauty of hickory  OR a two tone effect, staining the trim clear/natural  and the body with something like michaels cherry.  
any thoughts?

would load pics but not sure how.

Is the tank glass or acrylic? Rimless or trim? If trim, what color is it? I personally don't like the look when the tank stand combo do not match colors...ie brown or wood trim tank on a black stand or vice versa...maybe I am just weird though...to be sure you are the one who needs to like the final look as you will be the one sitting in front of it every day not us! 

You need to upload photos to an image host service (photobucket or some other service) first then you you can copy the url into the "insert image" tab when you create a thread. Pics will then automatically load onto the thread page.

Funny you mention the two toned cabinet. I had one of my cabinets plain unstained birch and primed white trim and it looked pretty good.

I think that a light stained cabinet with some darker trim would look sweet! So if you have doors that have trim as well, make the cabinet skin and doors light while staining the top and bottom trim as well as the door trim dark. That would look real nice I think.

But as said, it's all about what makes you happy. but we are happy to help with that!

Hey I saw on another site that you're losing your wc RR's and Dubs...what is going on? From whom and when did you buy them? Are they fresh imports? Is the seller assisting you in anyway?
Sorry to hear what's going on
