[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 433492, member: 13599"] nice work Jimmy !! but - just a short note on painting bare wood.......... whether it be varnish or oil based paint, the application process is the same. First coat - dilute 50/50 with pure turpentine or mineral spirits, let that dry at least 48 hours. Second coat - dilute 25% with the same solvent - pay particular attention to the end grain. Third coat - dilute 10% with the same solvent top it off with at least 2 coats of your finish and you will have a very durable wood product. and this is not a "one time deal"..... the top coat must be replenished every couple of seasons. keep up the good work !!
