Today I added the first coat of polyurethane to the smaller pieces. I have to wait at least 12 hours between each coat, so it’s going to take a few days to finish them. Once those are done, I’ll start on the body. I want to wait until it has dried for a few days before I start adding coats to it.

I’ve added three coats of polyurethane to the keybox, keybox lid and some other parts. I hope that will be enough, it looks pretty thick.

I just added the first coat to the main body, and it’s starting to look really good.

Apparently it’s going to take two weeks for the polyurethane to harden fully. Since I’m going away to London for a few days next week that seems like good timing.

I’ve stained the body with a light brown color. The test piece I did was a bit too light, making it almost orange, so I tried to leave more of the dark brown base coat. I’m going to add another coat of the light brown color tomorrow, and then I need to start adding coats of polyurethane. I’m planning on doing at least three coats, maybe four. And it needs to dry for 12 hours between each coat, so it’s going to take a while.
