Display stand - installed and done

Continuing with the 2-tier display stand saga...

The final steps were to patch some gaps (and one crack) with wood filler/putty, and then to stain it with a darker shade of brown.

First, filled in the gaps and this went pretty smooth.


There used to be a crack here, but the filler did it's job well!


I let that dry overnight, and the following day, brushed on the stain. I did a couple of coats, and it had a longer drying time due to the cold weather. I left it in the garage for a week, just to be sure.


Started staining using a brush. Last time I did staining, a co-worker recommended using a piece of cloth instead of a brush.


After a week of waiting to dry, it's finally in the Detolf and complete!


Nendo section 2-1, a.k.a., the 'Peanut Gallery'.
Everyone looks happy so far.


Thanks again to TofuCarpenter-san for his help on this project.:D

Next up, 3 more display stands. Stay tuned!
