So much easier varnishing the outside! One down, at least one more to go.

Had not noticed those cross stripes before. :rolleyes:


Damn that is looking good. It will really look good when 'water' wet.

At this rate, I may use it to do some sledding this winter! :eek:

You would be surprised! We have had some pretty snowy winters in Maryland. It would make for an interesting toboggan ride.

Were they surprised with that 'angle of attack'?

Be careful Al. Those runs and sags look even worse when they go up! :-)

You should be proud. You took a whack at something that challenged you and you've done a great job.

Congrats!

Thanks, Paul! It has indeed been a challenge, a learning experience and mostly a lot of fun! Except for the sanding. Which there has been a lot of. Sometimes I think it would have been quicker to start with a solid log and just sand it hollow.
