Nice job, looks professionally done! Just a little tips and warning to watch out for! First, if you haven’t ever tried oil stain like Watco natural finish oil or they do have different colors as well including exterior and floor oils! There easier to work with then the solvent based stains You can put a lacquer or varnish as long as you let the oil dry for least 72 hours it can be sprayed with a shinny finish.
now for the warning that many people don’t know about! If your using rags to put on your finish whatever you do don’t wad up your rags and throw them away. Rags waded up can spontaneously combust if their waded up. For years I really didn’t believe this would really happen till one morning I came to work and reached down for a waded up rag sitting on a work bench and just before I grabbed it the thing exploded into flames! So this really is no joke and can be very serious! Always lay your rags out flat somewhere that there’s no combustible material near by and let it dry completely! After dried out you can safely throw it away Long as your not piling a lot of rags on top of one another! Better safe than sorry, I hate to see anyone burn their house down! Regardless what stain or finish you use, be careful disposing of your unused materials!

I just want to encourage you here. I lost my home and then a 20 year marriage after Hurricane Andrew (S. Fla. in 1992.) Speaking from my experience, it will get better. With God's help you can do this. 💕🙏
