With all the
cases assembled, Beth turns to the finishing process. She uses cherry Minwax Wood Putty to
touch up some of the tearout.
|
We didn't like the light color that the
Minwax "cherrytone" stain gave us. Here, Beth mixes some dark color (walnut)
into the cherrytone. A little bit goes a long way.
|
 |
 |
This darker color is more to her
liking.
|
A day later and Beth can now
start to add a finish. She is using the same Minwax Wipe-On Poly finish that she used for
the clock faces.
|
 |
 |
It takes several coats to build
up the right finish, but the wipe on finish is quick to do.
|
With one unit completed, Beth can
insert the picture frames with photos of her two cats. She also can remove the plastic
wrap which has been protecting the clock insert.
|
 |
 |
With the based attached, she can admire
the finished unit. This has been a fun project — certainly a good first project for
the Beth, the first WoodShopDemos-U student.
