The Tuul Crib   7,336 #1 Posted May 29, 2020 Been painting today but unfortunately the wrong color.  I much prefer regal red but this project had to get done in three more days!!  Almost there. The tops are spalted maple. A lot going on in these small little squares!! 7 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do resemble children's seats ! all I have to do is leave the top off! it's what the customer wanted! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz   11,987 #5 Posted May 29, 2020 That's actually a pretty nice design for them and those tops are just stunning.  Pretty clever title too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're a little uneven on top because there's so much going on with the pieces, The white color wood is a lot softer than the darker almost the start of dry rot .Was a Challenge to sand. probably a second coat of poly tomorrow and wrap it up. Thanx ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the feeling. I usually use a clear penetrating epoxy on the rotted soft parts to harden it. Takes a few applications but it does the job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The smell eventually will lead you to pinesol hell!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
