New Stain

It took awhile to match the stain to the current floors, but I finally found a place to help take care of it.
Once I'd sanded to a fine finish, I applied a nice thick coat of stain, followed by a second coat. After a day or so, I applied a nice thick coat of polyurethane. Then I let it dry for two days and then came back at it with 220 grit sandpaper, followed by a second coat of urethane.
And now it's finished. Isn't it pretty?
