Wow - to add to Bob's/ Excellent art - many of us are jealous of your ability to lay that down in 2 days. Looks great! Your "bad spot" needed to be sealed before you did the whole overcoat. Is it rough? Did the Minwax finish raise the grain of the spruce? The color does not look too bad, ...

Hello, makers! FINALLY finished this damn project. Here is a poorly lit shot of the after-poly, due to the storm which sprang up immediately following sealing and staging this thing to dry on my apartment balcony…>.< Removed strings Detail cleaned No loose finish from original build, so didn’t sand ...
