The week was mostly taken up with the laborious task of applying stain and varnish layers to the shelf units built last week. Each unit took 3 layers of mahogany wood stain and 2 layers of clear gloss varnish. This took a while due to the intricate corners and the fact that each layer took twice as long (the shelves had to dry and be turned over to complete a layer). Luckily, we had plenty of dry sunny days to speed the process up.
When finished, the shelves looked great, and felt solid too. They could then be screwed in to their positions without any additional drilling (it was all done during construction) and they both fitted like a glove. Job done.
