What I want to accomplish
- Decide what to buy,
- Buy it.
What I've done
I decided to go with oil-based everything, because I like the smell and it's much cheaper.
Wax
This smells incredible.
Stain
This will be going in the gutter and on the strips. I'm thinking of staining only the outer of the edge strips and leaving the inner au naturale, for some contrast.
Varnish
I had intended to get the gloss instead of the satin. I looked at some comparison photos and the difference wasn't huge. I think the surface will be plenty glossy thanks to the wax.
Plywood
I should be able to cut the top piece of of the centre, and the bottom piece out of the corners.
Edge strip
