I ' ve already sent my two but I had a third in my party so I sent a spare . Enjoy ! <| sep |> When I ' ve gotten similar issues like this in the past , it seemed to be due to having a cleaner finishing cut in one area compared to the other . I suspect the lighter color area was cut a bit cleaner than the darker areas . Minuscule tear out in the darker areas would mean the pores would be able to take in more stain . <| sep |> Burgle has no win condition . This is the crux of the problem . And this is why Burgle Rogue will never be viable . Tempo Rogue , with some hints of Burglary mixed in ? Yeah , okay . A deck focused around Burgle ? No . <| sep |> THIS STIMULATES MY SALIVATION SUBSYSTEM . <| sep |> I was hoping to stretch out after my son was born . Unfortunately he was a csection baby so everything remained the same . Even DH had said while I was pregnant with DS that he hoped it opened me up a bit more . I have a doula this time around and fingers crossed I can have a successful VBAC !
