Re: update on the island bench

@MitchellMc thanks heaps! 
I’ve  just used British paints high gloss white and used a 100mm x 4mm microfibre roller and just laid it off gently after the initial coat, lightly sanded between coats and left to dry for a full day! 

Island bench is finally home

 So for those who have been following this process it’s finally taken it’s place in it’s rightful home... I’m so pleased and proud of how it’s turned out! That’s me at the back!!

Re: Island bench is finally home

That looks phenomenal, @hazesnow! Congratulations on completing a magnificent project. Were there any more images of the front and a closeup of the top? I trust our members would be keen to see all the features of the finished island bench.

 

Many thanks for sharing this journey with us; it's been a thrilling ride. I very much look forward to seeing your next project.

 

Well done.

@redracer01 thanks so much it was a pleasure to make as well! It breaks down for ease of moving as it’s damned heavy! 😂
