Fixin' Up the Bungalow

Yes… More Sanding
I put the last coat of poly on the caracases and drawer interiors, had dinner, and then we both went out to the shop and did not finish til’ around 11:30 p.m.

Kristin sands the drawer faces.

She is just pretending to enjoy this.

Two Step Staining
If you saw our video on staining douglas fir.. you know that we use a washcoat of mineral spirits and boiled linseed oil followed by mahogany gel stain.

To be exact.. I apply the washcoat, Kristin applies the stain, I wipe the excess stain.

Picasso adds her touch.

Door with one coat of stain.

We learned to let the stain sit for quite a while so that it flashes up and removes evenly.
