maggsl_01 Posted June 28, 2015 #181 Posted June 28, 2015 G'day Denis The bleach walnut looks great to me. It's more interesting than just plan walnut or whatever you used. Well done mate! Haveagreatone Greg Hi Denis, I agree completely wirh Greg - nothing is more boring than a 100 % identic Color of a deck. This mixture of nuances make the deck look so real... Best done , really !

DenPink Posted July 1, 2015 Author #183 Posted July 1, 2015 Hi All Just fitted the main deck gratings . I did think about cutting the ends off but decided against it. But looking at the photos I wish I had now as I left plenty of deck planking left on to support them. Denis.

DenPink Posted July 3, 2015 Author #187 Posted July 3, 2015 Hi All I have put the liquid glass on the back of the window. Dried fitted it to see how it looked. I have got to say I do like it. Yes I know you will not see it when the upper deck is fitted but it is good practice for later on.

DenPink Posted July 3, 2015 Author #190 Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Brian I tried a small window some months back and it is still on the back. All I did was sand the back down to get rid of any surface film so it is nice and bright finish. Sanding also puts scratch marks on the surface so the liquid glass has something to key to. Denis.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted July 6, 2015 #199 Posted July 6, 2015 G'day Denis Outstanding piece of craftsmanship. If I can put my 2 cents in, I think they would need a slight stain.

maggsl_01 Posted July 7, 2015 #203 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Denis just perfect. It was a good decision, not to stain tjhe Wood. The varnish gives a very smooth and realistic effect on the stairs.
