    Gadsby's Tavern, Alexandria, VA

    "A restaurant stuck in the 1700's"... Gadsby's Tavern (CNN video) "Preserved since its opening in the 1790s, Gadsby's Tavern in Alexandria, Virginia, served our first presidents." Looks like a place to go to on our next visit to the D.C. area!

    LMF stain color

    Can any of you guys recommend to me which color of Laurel Mountain Forge stain will give me this color?: It kind of looks like "honey maple" with the yellow/amber tones... but darker... maybe with a little "Lancaster maple" mixed in? Any ideas?
