It's been a very long time since I've updated this blog but that's most because I've had nothing to update it with. The bed frame has taken a back seat to coaching - as do most projects - and the weather around here certainly hasn't helped much. It's been nice the last couple of days but that's due to change soon so it's a matter of finding a way to finish up as much as I can before things get really bad outside.
The task list:
1. Sand down and apply a second coat of stain to the posts
2. Sand and stain the head board.
3. Sand and apply a second coat of stain to the head board.
Really what's slowed things down is the head board. I'm really not looking forward to trying to stain that piece with the grains of the wood running several different directions and it looking like I might need to add a couple extra pieces so I can avoid having any dark spots on the cut wood.
I've also decided to use a different brush to apply the stain and have moved over to foam brushes hoping that this will help make things a little more even. I've also considered using a rag but this stain seems to resist pretty much every solvent made to clean it up.
Hopefully next week with us moving over to winter practice where I get a little more time and things are less stressful I'll be able to knock out at least the posts and then look at designing the remaining bed parts.
