Nowadays, I find myself agreeing with you quite a lot about quite a lot. It is wonderful to make something. That is why I have taken to cooking with a vengeance since I have lived in France. It's so nice to make, say, a delicious cake and eat it with someone.
When we first came, I used a paint brush, for the first time ever in my life, and emulsioned the whole house. That was also profoundly satisfying. Never thought I'd enjoy working so hard, spending hours on a ladder when I used to be scared of heights.
Looks good Dick, how many hours of finishing have you got in the piece? I'm a convert to hard wax oil, cut between coats with 0000 and matted down if the sheen is too much the finish is superb. Three coats are easily adequate, four is some serious protection. Nice work, what's next?
