    C4E5F1EC-B56D-4E15-B190-C303984012DF.jpeg So this is one of the doors. Should I paint the design black, then use a light stain, Or all stain?

    Found it!! So here's two ideas.......BUT I love the idea of a bit lighter stain on the doors too.......and maybe I made the Dark brown too dark....did it quickly....Don't know how I missed your post as well, on your rocker which looks fabulous!!!!

    4B37E580-31A3-4120-BD02-F04F02ECA314.jpeg I wanted opinions on the size of the corner borders, please. Is this too big?

    @Aquitaine is it possible to color the cross black?

    Yes, to my eyes they should be smaller. You don't want them to compete with your center design. They're just a whisper, a little finishing touch. See how they'd look at 3/4 and 1/2 of current size.

    Looks fine to me. I wouldn't want them much larger. Just to be annoying, I might put four straight lines on the top around the edge, close to the edges of the wood and forget the fancy corners.

    I like the top larger size one of your latest picture. Smallest looks too small to me. I would base the size on matching the size of the positive and negative spaces in the central filigree work. If that makes sense - you want it to look like it is from the same hand using the same hand tools.
