FINISHING FINISHING
The headboard and footboard are DONE. Completely:
I didn't do a very good job matching the grain on the plugs that hide the screws attaching the caps to the headboard and footboard, but maybe it's sort of like the people that leave layout lines penciled on completed dovetails--to highlight the work that went into it:
The final coat of finish is now curing on the sides:
I used something called "Tried and True." It is basically a linseed oil/beeswax mix. It sure is easy to apply. Hopefully it holds up pretty well.
The next pictures I post should be of a done crib in a done baby's room...
