Ron, with staining it doesn't matter if you make a mess of it, because you can just clean it off and start again.
One of the keris I made myself, I spent more than 3 days on. I was not going to be satisfied with anything less than perfection.
I reckon I must have cleaned it off with steel wool and powder sink cleaner (Ajax) at least 10 times before I got a result that could not be improved on.
