Wow....staining is kinda fun
I finished the first of the several floors I'm doing with coffee
stirrers, and after sanding it, I applied a cherry stain. It looks really pretty, and the inevitable gaps have nearly disappeared... the reddish brown stain matches the background paint I used, so the gaps are much less noticible now that the wood is stained. I do the first coat of Polyurathane in the morning. I've been taking photos of the project as I went along... I'll try and get a web page together sometime over the weekend. Cathy |

Cathy You cannot believe the battle I had when I suggested my husband make one of the floors similar to your's. He thinks I have flat out flipped!! He is recuperating from a 2 week stint in ICU and just needed something to pass the time. Gosh, retirement ain't quite what I expected? |

Cathy I use Deft varnish which you can get in a hardware store. It's stinky and I try to do it outside. It gives a beautiful finish to wood. It's not very shiny which is what I like.

Gonna have to wait a couple more weeks. The resin liked to have choked us
both making a block of ice for the ice box. "Carol" wrote in message ... "Cathy Weeks" wrote in message om...
