The air is getting colder, but in the garage things are hotting up.
Kelli had concerns that the last dresser had attracted little interest on Marketplace. According to her, action is required.
I thought the natural oiled cedar was a pleasant change from all the dark stained furniture we had done recently, but with little activity she was determined to change it.
She went through our stock of tinted oils and decided on a dark Walnut finish.
The oil gave it an antique look and killed some of the red in the clear finish.
Once she was done, it had to be carried back into the living space to be photographed.
I had my own list of objectives to meet, which entailed sanding, staining and finishing. I finally got to working on the dining table staining project.
I sanded the backside of the two half sections and stained them. The finish was okay considering the material, so I set them aside to dry before applying the finish.
When I checked the tin the lady supplied it was super thick, like a yogurt. According to the instructions it was three times thicker than ordinary polyurethane, and was hell to apply.
Kelli was also on the hunt for more JustEgg. We had exhausted the supply in Holland and Grandville, so it meant going further afield to Grand Rapids. Oh, and quite by coincidence she had accumulated more clothes to take to Plato’s Closet, so that is where we had to go.
