With the British weather doing it's usual and training constantly, I've moved more than half the interior in to my loft so I can continue work.
The cupboards are coming along nicely. The table, seat bases, chest of drawers and all of the kitchen drawer fronts, have now been sanded back and refinished with 4 coats of satin clear varnish.
Various parts after the second coat.
Before and after.
Wall cupboard finished
Seat base finished.
All the parts have come out better than I'd hoped. The drawer front are solid oak and have suffered a bit of water damage and become quite stained. Once vanished however, the grain came out and they look great.
With the drawer front looking good, I thought I'd make the inside look just as good. I decided to use an old road atlas to line them. I made each draw have it's own little theme
The Aberdeen drawer
The Yorkshire and Aberdeen drawers and memories and Joe's drawer bottoms.
The bases after outlining the different maps.
I made sure to put Cheltenham on one of the bases, as well as Selkirk, where I got the puku from.
