The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

[T-DOGG]

Progress from last night's sanding.



Tonight the staining got under way. I may go over it with a light grey tomorrow night, to help lighten it up just a little bit, not sure yet.



Mocked up with the back panel behind it, to get an idea of contrast.

I have never stained before, ever. This was my first experience and I liked it about 300x more than spray painting or painting with a brush.

Soft woods sometimes benefit from a pre-stain sealer but the results and the visible grain on hardwoods are a winner in my book too, T.

The boxes are assembled. Tomorrow I will put some Tung oil on them and let them dry. Takes a few days so it won’t stink up the house.
And yes I signed them upside down.

Been a day. 3 hour nap after taking Barb her lunch and helping her wash windows at the shop. Then lawn mowing after bacon and tomato sammitches. First 2 trips around the house- flat tire on the back of the mower. Not off the rim so some slime and some air and back at it. Mowing down the drive for the last time and one of the fronts goes flat. Valve stem inside the wheel so home we go. Patch kit fluid is dried up after I get the tube out and cleaned so Fix-a-flat out of Barb's car is pressed into service. Tube back in and wheel mounted up by flashlight. 2 minutes of weed whipping around the garden and blow off the walk. Tools put up. 0430 work wake up, here I come.

Only removed a little hide reseating the tire on the rim so only minor swearing required

Ehh, it's just pine. The hardwoods were still a little spendy when I bought materials.

I'm up.
Hopefully I'll get a few more hours in before I start my day. Going to split some hard maple around 0630.

After a delivery arrives, later in the day, I'm heading to the cabin.
What's coming is my oldest fossil to date (and likely the oldest attainable)...... reaching back to the Permian Period .....280 million years ago.
